Subject: [SIP] DNS SRV lookup

Hi,
This is a question in reference to the draft-ietf-sip-srv-01.txt (SIP:--Locating Sip Servers), 
page 2 says
" The client tries to find one or more addresses for the SIP server by querying the DNS. If step elicits no addresses , the client continues to the next step. However if a step elicits one or more addresses, but no SIP server at any of those addresses responds, then the client concludes the server is down and dies not continue on to the next step"

If the retransmission is turned off and the dns lookup gives more than one address. The client continues with the next step by sending the request to the destination of the address with highest weight and priority. If this is unsuccessful then does the client need to send the request to another address obtained in priority or conclude the server is down ?
Hope I was clear. Please let me know if this does not make sense. 

Thanks
