a web site with www.test.com domain have multiple A record that reference to multiple web server

A record 1.1.1.1

A record 2.2.2.2

A record 3.3.3.3

a DNS serve give all 3 record to client without any modifing. what happen if server 1.1.1.1 goes down ?

does edge have any mechanism that automatically retry Second or third DNS record ?

almost all popular websites use it for load balancing or failover.
