is the part of the connection URL that specifies connection information for the primary server. Alternate servers are specified using the AlternateServers property. For example:
...;AlternateServers=(server2:2003;server3:2003)
Similarly, connection information for the primary server specified using a JDBC data source would look something like this:
In this example, connection information for the primary server is specified using the ServerName, PortNumber, and DatabaseName properties. Connection information for alternate servers is specified using the AlternateServers property.
