This is a great idea. Ops might run a single, primary HA MDQ server on
the CDN of choice and then look to the community to add one or more
backup servers to the pool. Deployers could rely on the primary alone
or configure a chain of primary and secondary servers, where the
secondary is chosen from one of the servers in the pool.
