<div><br></div>You would need to create a custom script to use as your monitor, which does a lookup of an address that you know will always be in your domain. If that fails, force-down/inactive the node, and tie this script as a monitor to the pool holding the DNS server nodes. <div>
<br></div><div>You can advertise the /32 containing the VIPA to the up-stream router via either OSPF or IBGP, and if the pool goes empty, stop advertising the route (the only option is stop advertising, not actively withdraw the route, since that could cause a massive reconvergence cycle in your enterprise-wide RIB, if done wrong, just because of a flapping interface). </div>
