Not that I know of, but maybe instead of installing a web server on the 
DC, why not add a port redirection (iptables/nftables), if the only 
thing you are doing is a redirect, it should handle if fine.

I can add other @ IN A entry, but if I remove the ones corresponding to the DC, they are automatically added back a few minutes later. How can I avoid that ?  AFAIK, DC are not required to be listed in the @ IN A entry
