Simon,
Do I understand correctly that you suggest:
1) that each "subordinate" keeps a centroid of all its "parents", collapsing
all the parents subordinates, so that it can chose "the best" parent to
poll,
2) that all possible servers are tried in sequence, with a "cost of access"
ordering,
3) that the query stops at the first match?
