verified in 4.6.0-0.nightly-2021-05-06-185359

$ oc get clusterversions.config.openshift.io 
NAME      VERSION                             AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE   STATUS
version   4.6.0-0.nightly-2021-05-06-185359   True        False         2m1s    Cluster version is 4.6.0-0.nightly-2021-05-06-185359

1. Set up a custom nameserver
$ oc adm new-project mydns
Created project mydns


$ oc -n mydns create configmap coredns --from-file=./test2/Corefile
configmap/coredns created

$ oc -n mydns create deployment coredns --image=openshift/origin-coredns:latest --replicas=0 --port=5353 -- coredns --conf=/etc/coredns/Corefile
deployment.apps/coredns created


$ oc -n mydns set volume deployments/coredns --add --mount-path=/etc/coredns --type=configmap --configmap-name=coredns
info: Generated volume name: volume-fhfnx
deployment.apps/coredns volume updated


$ oc -n mydns scale deployments/coredns --replicas=1
deployment.apps/coredns scaled


$ oc -n mydns expose deployments/coredns --port=5353 --protocol=UDP
service/coredns exposed

$ oc -n mydns get services
NAME      TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
coredns   ClusterIP   172.30.249.112   <none>        5353/UDP   11s


2. Configured cluster DNS to forward queries for the zone to this custom nameserver
$ oc patch dns.operator/default --type=merge --patch='{"spec":{"servers":[{"name":"mydns","zones":["redhat.com"],"forwardPlugin":{"upstreams":["172.30.249.112:5353"]}}]}}'
dns.operator.openshift.io/default patched


3. created a test pod,  from the pod, continuously performed nslookups for a name in the zone for which the custom nameserver is responsible
$ oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/verification-tests/master/testdata/networking/aosqe-pod-for-ping.json
pod/hello-pod created


$ oc rsh hello-pod
/ # while :; do nslookup www.redhat.com; sleep 0.5; done
Server:		172.30.0.10
Address:	172.30.0.10:53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.redhat.com	canonical name = ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net
ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net	canonical name = ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net
ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net	canonical name = e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Name:	e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Address: 23.59.99.64

Non-authoritative answer:
www.redhat.com	canonical name = ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net
ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net	canonical name = ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net
ds-www.redhat.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net	canonical name = e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Name:	e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Address: 2600:1408:9000:481::d44
Name:	e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Address: 2600:1408:9000:496::d44

Server:		172.30.0.10
Address:	172.30.0.10:53
<--snip-->


4. changed the replicas for the deployment to 0
 oc -n mydns scale deployments/coredns --replicas=0
deployment.apps/coredns scaled


5. after step 4, nslookup from test pod failed as expected
$ oc rsh hello-pod
/ # while :; do nslookup www.redhat.com; sleep 0.5; done
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Server:		172.30.0.10
Address:	172.30.0.10:53

** server can't find www.redhat.com: SERVFAIL

*** Can't find www.redhat.com: No answer

Server:		172.30.0.10
Address:	172.30.0.10:53

** server can't find www.redhat.com: SERVFAIL

** server can't find www.redhat.com: SERVFAIL

6. verified DNS pods started logging errors
$ for pod in $(oc -n openshift-dns get pods -o name)
> do oc -n openshift-dns logs -c dns $pod
> done
