Original Abstract Submitted
in one embodiment, a device receives a domain name system text record containing internet reachability information for a plurality of application instances of a particular application identified by a given domain name. the device determines a primary internet address for a primary application instance of the plurality of application instances and one or more secondary internet addresses for one or more respective secondary application instances of the plurality of application instances based on the internet reachability information. the device configures a path monitoring agent to perform path performance monitoring of a network path to the primary internet address and perform path performance monitoring of one or more alternate network paths to the one or more secondary internet addresses.
