I want to add DNS failover support for the client.
This implementation inclined with Nginx's behavior when used as a reverse proxy.
I need help adding the required specs; if someone wants to help, please send a pull request to my branch.
For some context, some services use A records with multiple IP addresses, unless you are large enough to handles failover at the BGP level, this is the only practical way to eliminate a single point of failure.
But the failover technique needs client support, hence the pull request.
