Most people don't realize that's the reality of the Internet. Otherwise, if DNS was real-time to the real authority everytime, the Internet would be a pretty slow place. ;->
Some organizations set very low TTLs on the DNS records for their public hosts. Google's are only five minutes. That wouldn't allow real-time failover, but it's fairly quick as those things go.
