Failover

[Scott Haneda]

I belive this is the job of a load balancer and not something that can  
be done in dns.

DNS has no way of following the resulting answer ip or host, let alone  
knowing what protocol to follow on and how to determine what ones  
definition of "up" is.

This type if check could be done in a basic software load balancer.
