Hi Vkpopuri,

 

 

Under Pool memebers you can enable the Priority group activation.and give the number of servers you want to recive the traffic. In your case you can provide with the number 3, Basically what happens is if the servers in pool members goes down less then 3 then the back up server comes in to picture.
