When this field is set to `false`, you can use a sameness group for failover by configuring the `Failover` block of a [service resolver configuration entry](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver).
When you [query Consul DNS](/consul/docs/services/discovery/dns-static-lookups) using sameness groups, `DefaultForFailover` must be set to `true`. Otherwise, Consul DNS returns an error.

- Default: `false`

Additional services can query the [KubeDNS](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/) at `sample-app.default.svc.cluster.local` to reach `sample-app`.

### Headless services
For services that are not addressed using a virtual cluster IP, you must configure the upstream service using the [DialedDirectly](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults#dialeddirectly) option. Then, use DNS to discover individual instance addresses and dial them through the transparent proxy. When this mode is enabled on the upstream, services present service mesh certificates for mTLS and intentions are enforced at the destination.
