How to set up a bunch of "One DNS name - several IP addresses" in Mikrotik?

Question

System administration

Mikrotik has this kind of DNS static:
ftp-server 192.168.0.200

Recently, another host has appeared with a spare ftp server with an IP address of 192.168.0.201. How to make the ftp-server DNS name resolve to 192.168.0.201 in Mikrotik if the host 192.168.0.200 completely lies down (dies)?

In Mikrotik, I simply wrote this:

ftp-server 192.168.0.200
ftp-server 192.168.0.201

But will it help?

Answer 1

No, it won't help. Static entries in Mikrotik cannot have 2+ ips per name.

Answer 2

For fault tolerance, look towards the load balancer or cluster.
DNS won't help.

Answer 3

this is easy to do with host monitoring and a script
