Hello,
perhaps that's a bit off topic here but can someone explain what I need
to build a hardware failover nginx cluster?

The unclear is:
How does the client know that the server 1 is down and use the other one?
DNS failover has a delay because of the design I think.

client ---> SRV1
      |---> SRV2 (failover if SRV1 is down and load balancing)

how did it work on google or somethink else?

Is that load balance or failover?

Thanks for any help!
