Yes, perhaps there lies our folly. It's the choice between being flexible in ability to move our servers really quick, or being tolerant of DNS servers going down.
I sort of hoped that a DNS client would just use an expired DNS result in case the servers would not respond, but perhaps that is naieve/dumb.

Depends on the TTL (time to live) settings for the DNS entries, doesn't it?

This would break the whole concept of TTLs.
Not at all. Hard problems are hard to solve.
