What provisions are available for KMS host failover?
Multiple KMS hosts can be registered in DNS SRV resource records. If one KMS host is down, the KMS client computer will choose another from the list. If direct registration is used on the KMS Office client, you can use round-robin DNS or network load-balancing mechanisms (software or hardware) to increase KMS host availability.
