Hi sorry total noob here 😅
I thought I had failover set up with two servers at RackNerd and GreenCloudVPS but when my main went down the backup never took over. Now I learned my failover didnt actually work and im trying to understand why. Is it usually dns that breaks this? Sorry if dumb question
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 versus 192.0.2.1
Your legacy IP TTL was ignored because resolvers cache beyond your declared lifetime. Dual-stack would not have saved you. NAT is a lie that breaks failover assumptions. Address space is freedom and you built a cage

Kids play valorant now
Back in source engine days we understood tickrate mattered more than your failover pipe dream. Your dns timeout is like a 15 tick server, everyone sees the lag but nobody fixes it. Communities used to test this stuff before shipping. Mourns communities
KIDDO YOU NEVER TESTED THE FAILOVER DID YOU
SHITF HAPPENS WHEN YOU ASSUME
I BET YOUR TTL WAS SET TO 300 AND YOU THOUGHT THAT MEANT 300 SECONDS EVERYWHERE
NEVER TRUST THE CACHE KIDDO
