It=E2=80=99s called pool.default.dc-resolve = (it should be called pool.dc-resolve, as it=E2=80=99s not the default = but a custom one), so I added in my configuration: pool.default.dc-resolve.default.serverset.type =3D failover pool.default.dc-resolve.serverset.failover.1.server =3D dcX.domain.com pool.default.dc-resolve.serverset.failover.2.server =3D dcY.domain.com But there is a better solution.
