 Description   

When a hostname has multiple A records for basic load balancing/redundancy, the client just tries to connect to the first.

It should try the others, too, if the first gives a simple error.

This is not something that can/should be done at the DNS level.
There are serious data integrity issues with doing it via DNS.
You should use replica pairs for this.
