Hello Rob,
Thank you for your message.
Yes, this is possible in case if you configure a custom
MSI installation package with updated settings that point at your new server's address and then will propagate it across your remote machines using
Remote Install Tool as described in
this guide - this way the remote Hosts settings will be updated.
As for the failover server - unfortunately, there's no failover mechanism to automatically switch between RU Servers yet. However, in this case, you can use the
DNS trick. Please note that you should use a DNS name for your server that points at your main Server's IP address. If your main server at AWS is down, then you can simply update your DNS record and point it at the backup server's IP address (the server should be running of course). These days DNS propagation literally takes seconds or minutes at the worst, so your remote connections will be quickly up and running again.
Hope that helps.
