[Cialug] PowerDNS Recursor + heartbeat

All,

Has anyone used pdns-recursor and heartbeat?  I'm having an issue with some of 
the new security features of pdns and heartbeat running in an active/active 
configuration.

Basically, pdns-recrusor no longer binds to ANY.  It forces you to list the 
local ip addresses that you need to bind to.  Which is all fine and dandy, 
unless you have an IP moving over due to the other node in the cluster being 
down.  The IP still moves over, but pdns does not listen on it.  So to the end 
user, it is down.   Listing the IP of the other node in the cluster in the 
pdns-recursor config is also a non-starter as pdns will not start as it is 
considered a configuration error.
