To support encryption with RSA when ECDSA fails.
A lot of servers must be forced to connect to the second server with RSA
with iptables rules. They try a TLS connection and if it fails they will
repeat
unending to reconnect to the same host.
I want to prevend this situation with iptables needed.

Both. You have Cert with exactly the same list of hostname included.
One is ECDSA and the other is RSA. You make a longer cipher list,
where you can mix ECDSA and RSA ciphers. The clients becomes the Cert
which combines with the first cipher.
Samples and explanations are better given from the NGINX community.
There it is already in use to support double certificates.
