A backup server is inactive from a client's perspective so if a client attempted to connect to a backup they would receive an error. The client needs to connect to the live.
That said, the client can use discovery via UDP multicast (described in the documentation) so that it doesn't need to know the specific IP address or hostname of the live server or the client can have a static list of the addresses of all the servers and each will be tried until a successful connection is made.
