I do not know why you really don't liket this mysql solution.
OK I am talking of a DNS for HA purposes for grid computing services for exampe, so DNS
resolution must be always working at any cost.
The David solution can be OK, but I want to be sure not to have issues with serial numbers on the two servers and the mysql solution looks safer to me. You do not have to rsync anything, just have mysql properly configured.

I understand you, but the advantage of having mysql backend is that
if one of the two servers dies, the other keeps running with up to

manually sync it, and how to keep tracks of modifications ?

for this I choose mysql backend

Two questions, how often do you anticipate one of the masters failing, and how much data are you talking about? Generally the number of times a server fails is going to be pretty small, if it's not, you've got bigger problems.

If you're not talking about a huge amount of data here (and from what you've described in previous posts, you're not) then you are fairly dramatically over-architecting your solution here. Personally I think David had a great idea in regards to using nsupdate to update both masters at the same time. If you really think that one of them is going to fail often enough to justify an automated solution than scripting something that utilizes rsync shouldn't be too hard.
