[rabbitmq-discuss] Good practice to work with rabbit cluster?

[Carl Hörberg]

no, you have to manually administer the dns (or automatically through
some heartbeat stuff interacting with your dns provider api.. )

i don't know how the client implementations are, but they could try to
connect to the first A record, if that fails try the next one and so
forth..  (like the way many web browsers does)
