Is it possible on Aegis to associate mutiple links with a name
arranged by some priority, so that the name is always resolved
to the highest prority object on the list, provided it is available?
If not, successively next ones on the list should be accessed.
For example, we would like a link called x to point to
//x1/a, //x2/a, //x3/a....  Every time x is referenced, it should
be resolved to //x1/a.  However, if the node x1 is down or not accessible,
x should resolve to //x2/b, and so on.  Similarly for links to
other objects.

Thanks.
