You should have at least 2 SRV records pointing to your 2 servers. It is ok if your client is caching them if they are not supposed to change. The problem lies in your client. It should realize after a few seconds of trying to register to your main server that it cannot so it should try the next one in line according to your SRV Records.
We have deployed thousands of Linksys units configured to query SRV records and they work fine in failover scenarios. I cannot comment on X-Lite.
