And there's no reply?

The app team is assuming the queue manager will become available again. A hardware or disc failure will prevent that quite effectively.

It can, and there's no place for an MQ cluster in this topology.

It's in the how-to guide for an F5. This kind of switching technology comes out of the box.
Note that the application will see the connection fail when the F5 switches over, and the application will need to reconnect. Which is really coding 101 for a client connection.

Unless they're using a version of MQ Server/Client that supports automatic client reconnection (CAVEAT: Java EE).

Can DNS be used instead of F5? |

If you can find a way for a DNS server to return one of two possible IP addresses in response to a DNS name resolution request. In an even fashion. Only returning an IP if the server on that IP is still working.
Good luck, and know that if you succeed you'll have put every company that manufactures network load balancers out of business by making their products unnecessary. You'll be rich enough to buy a private island, far away from the angry lynch mob of shareholders & CEOs.
