Which is why the DNS supports multiple address records. Clients
don't have to wait a minutes to fallover to a second address. One
doesn't have to point all the addresses returned to the closest
data center. One can get sub-second fail over in clients as HE
code shows.
As for the original problem. LRU replacement will keep "hot" items in
the cache unless it is seriously undersized.
