Round robin DNS isnt a good choice here. That means that when a DNS server gives out the IP of the offline server, it will be retained by the client for the TTL period. Thus if the TTL period is 15 minutes, then 25% of the user base wont be able to access the app for that amount of time. Probably not a good idea.
