Is it possible to configure bind9 so it would answer with different A record depending on client ip?

Probably not, as dns servers do propagate and it's never direct hit, but worth to ask.

Example:

Let's say I got domain.com with nameserver ns1.domain.com... when people with ip 217...* go to domain.com would like it to serve 217.1.1.1 and people with ip 218...* should get served 218.1.1.1. Of course it's only an example. Can't be redirect. Has to be answer by dns server.

Bind has a feature called views that allow you to provide different versions of a zone, based on the source IP of the DNS request.

Bind views are done for a zone, not for individual records, which can be annoying if you only want to adjust one record out of hundreds in a zone.

  • Ok, maybe I wasn't clear enough... I mean... that my domain has a nameserver that is bind... is it possible to redirect people with given ip to different A record than all rest? – Flash Thunder Mar 01 '17 at 19:09

    I think you achieve such granularity with the response policy zone rather than views – HBruijn Mar 01 '17 at 19:11
  • @FlashThunder, Unfortunately your comment hasn't really cleared up or changed anything for me. Please feel free to edit additional details into your question. It might be more useful if you can give a specific example of what you want the requests and replies to look like. – Zoredache Mar 01 '17 at 19:45
