Ok, I get it. But I continue with manual work, having to change the
order of the A records.

Then, as I can only have one Address in the Client section, the best
alternative is
create a virtual IP, that automatically change between server1 and
server2 according to
availability, and in the Client section I point to that IP.


Thanks for the explanations.
