Should be fixed.  Now whenever a connector fails, its failover will be  
registered in its place and used for the remainder of that  
resolution.  This also works with multiple chained connectors.  Given  
three connectors with the failover chain: DC1 -> DC2 -> DC3.  If DC1  
and DC2 both fail, DC3 will be used in place of both of them for the  
remainder of the resolution.
