DNS load balancing issue

[satay]

Hi Maxim,

Thanks for responding. I agree with your recommendation.  I guess a direct
upgrade from 1.12  to 1.16 (free community version) is possible and
shouldn't break it.

I'm preferring 1.61 since it's the latest stable version.  Beside the
upgrade, do you recommend any performance tuning should be done?

Thanks


FYI - This is the error I see in the "dns.log" occurring frequently. 

2020/02/19 16:47:28 [error] 19509#0: *4852298929 no live upstreams while
connecting to upstream, udp client: x.x.x.x, server: 0.0.0.0:53, upstream:

This is the nginx.conf ---


worker_processes auto;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

events {
}

stream {
    upstream dns_servers {

        server x.x.x.x:53 fail_timeout=60s;
        server x.x.x.x:53 fail_timeout=60s;
    }
    server {
        listen 53  udp;
        listen 53; #tcp
        proxy_pass dns_servers;
        error_log  /var/log/nginx/dns.log info;
        proxy_responses 1;
        proxy_timeout   5s;
    }
}
