Transient state changing query

Question

Here i am taking the example of Datacenter , not my end-user workstations which will be going offline & coming online frequently.

So for the end-user stations , when the device goes offline, Orion will chnage the IP back to transient & after the transient period , it will change it to available.

So My query is,

Does this same above valid for my datacenter servers also? because this devices are not flapping its status liek end-user laptops . So when my server in DC goes down, did orion directly puts the status back to available or it still follows the same rule Used--> Transient-->Available.

it follows the same rule -> Transient -> Available.

This is beneficial for things like maintenance windows or if a server crashes and has to be rebuilt, but you plan on using the same IP/name.

One Use Case:

Some of our applications have multiple boxes doing the same functionality. Thus one could be taken off-line for a week or more and come back online. I have my transient time set for 30 days.
