- you can set a server to not accept new sessions and wait for existing 
sessions to drain out before performing maintenance
- failover groups also do load-balancing for new connections
- when a client reconnects and has an existing session, it will get redirected 
there. unlike “just” DNS RR where it could happen that one client has multiple 
sessions on multiple servers
