set restart_anycast_with_dns_restart [ on | off ]

Argument Description

on

Restarting the DNS service stops the anycast service followed by a DNS service stop. The anycast service restarts after the DNS service loads all the zones. In case the DNS service stops, anycast service also stops. The DNS service start triggers anycast service start, after the DNS service loads all the zones.

off

Restarting the DNS service will not trigger the restart of anycast service. In case of the DNS service stop, anycast service stops after approximately 30-60 seconds of DNS service stop.

In case of DNS service start:

If the DNS service takes more than approximately 30 seconds to load all the zones, anycast service starts at approximately 30 seconds after DNS service starts.
If the DNS service loads immediately, anycast service starts immediately after DNS service starts.
