Description
When using a Microsoft Office Online server with two or more member servers we want to specify primary and secondary server instead of using DNS round robin or a Load Balancer.
An option in the GUI or OCC to add URL to a second Office Online server , to be sure the Office Online app work against both servers in Office Online farm. For example if server 1 is down it connects to server 2.
We have tried with a Load Balancer for our Office Online servers but co editing does not show other users working in the document as shown in screenshot below.
If we specify the Office Online server URL directly to the Office Online server co editing works fine.

Start by locating the GUI or OCC configuration that currently accepts the Office Online server URL and trace how that value is used. Define the failover behavior for primary and secondary servers, then verify that switching servers preserves Office Online co-editing when the primary is unavailable.
