Hi Tobias,
if you have "dns_backlist=yes" in your config, if one of the destination
server fails (according to SIP definition), it's IP will be added to a
temporary blacklist (for 4 minutes) and not used. So, openser should do
dns-based failover and use the next entry provided by NAPTR/SRV/A lookup.
Regards,
Bogdan
