You're so bored at work that you gotta stir a pot that didn't need stirring? :)

That being said, I can see what you're aiming for. Instead of having 3 distribution points that a client will try #1, fail, try #2, fail, try #3. You can have 3 distribution points all working in tandem to send the data as requested, and if one of those servers isn't reachable for whatever reason, the other 2 will keep on truckin' without interruption or yucky failures in the logs.

Does that sound about right?

LOL...not at work yet, was thinking Magnet downloads would download bits from as many servers as it can.
