Can you explain as I may be planning this for a site.
So if I have 2 identical servers, each with there own IP, how will one of them going down cause issues?
I'm assuming multiple A records for the same host will be handled fine by the client lookup?
a given client will latch onto one of the IPs, try it, and get a timeout error, (or at best a ICMP "Host Not Reachable" if ICMP isn't blocked by a firewall). It won't go trying other IPs.
