RE: [squid-users] How to setup squid proxy to run in fail-over mode

Hey Remy,

The DNS server does not determine which server is down, however If It is
unable to resolve the 1st entry, it will automatically go down to the 2nd
entry.

Hi Sagar,

Just a Question?

How can a DNS server determine that the primary server is down and it
should resolve the secondary server IP?
