Backup RP

Hello all,

I have a scenario, sparse-mode multicasting is configured on the devices. I
should have two RPs configured with router B as a backup for the router A.
The RPs should not be configured as static RPs and I should not use BSR.
Apart from using " ip pim send-rp-announce....." and " ip pim
send-rp-discovery...". I did the configurations without using
autorp-listener and I am able to ping the required multicast groups. I
thought we need to configure autorp-listener for non static rp to work?
Secondly is there a command to force the devices to prefer one RP first and
failover to the second if the first is no longer availvable?

Thanks,
