I would like to know how a typical client, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox browser, would react if I create duplicate A Records to point one domain name, such as www.abc.com, to two IP addresses, say IP1 and IP2, which ultimately will reach the same server through a router that owns the two IPs. Will that result in an automatic fail-over, meaning that if IP1's connection is down, the client will automatically try to reach www.abc.com through IP2. Or will that only result in random access, meaning that the client will randomly choose from IP1/IP2 to use and if the one chosen is down, will still result in failure to connect?

Thats what we call a "roud robin" and its a random passing of traffic from one IP to another and this is not a fail over situation. You need to get a load balancer in between your servers for that. or set up a cluster.

No, it won't result in automatic failover. Use a load balancer.
