No, this is not possible. There is a feature with Net8 -- not 7.x stuff -- when using Parallel Server to fail a connection over to another instance if the instance you were connected to shutdown or otherwise failed. That might be what you have heard about.
Another feature of Net8 that this might be is a feature whereby net8 will disconnect you from the instance after some idle time, reconnecting you when you become active again. This cuts down on the resources needed on the server when you are idle. This is transparent and happens in the background -- your application isn't aware of it.
