{{Quickfixn}} Switching between Primary and Backup sessions

Mon Feb 12 20:36:00 PST 2018

Hi! Our counterparty requires to recover gateway failover and provides Primary and Backup ip addresses and ports. Also specific behavior required.
So we've configured 2 initiator sessions:

[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SessionQualifier=PR
SocketConnectHost=<Primary>
SocketConnectPort=<Primary>

[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SessionQualifier=BCK
SocketConnectHost=<Backup>
SocketConnectPort=<Backup>

But with this configurations application trying to start both sessions. Is there any options in quickfix/n to set up behavior below:
Start only 1st session, if it's unavailable to connect (3 attempts to connect) try to start 2nd session (3 attempts to connect). If 2nd session unavailable to then stop.
