[asterisk-users] is DNS SRV enough for failover?

Those records look fine.  Priority is 0 for both, which is the highest, 
and the higher one with weight of 3 should be selected most of the 
times.  My guess is your UA is either not doing SRV queries or is not 
following them in any case.  To know if it is actually doing the queries 
try to sniff the traffic with Wireshark and analyze it.
