Umbrella Redundancy for AD Connector

[bnuxoll]

What is best practice when it comes to AD connector(s)?

If we were to have TWO AD connectors, is there a way to have it only fail over to the other connector if the active one went down? Rather than adding an additional connector on a separate server that will also be continuously running.

Thank you in advance.

It's more about the best practice when it comes to VA.

Umbrella document mentions that only one VA is required per site. However, they recommend having an extra for redundancy purposes. 

From the guide "Note: Only one connector is required per Umbrella site, with an optional second connector for redundancy if required. If you are onboarding multiple AD domains through domain controller integrations, one connector is required per AD domain per Umbrella site, with an optional second connector for redundancy if required."
