I agree with Daniel here. Within the platforms we rarely use DNS as most 
systems are fixed
(not moving around, have a permanent IP address) and we handle failover and 
load balancing
using solutions like the Kamailio dispatcher.

to find the first hop SIP server. This way I can manage the clients, control 
load balancing,
provider failover and make sure they always reach the service.
