[Apt-cacher-ng-users] Client fallback to other proxy or to main repo in case of unresponsive proxy?

[Nicola Volpini]

Hi,

I have a setup with multiple sites across different geographic areas. Right now we have a single repo in Sweden and all the sites are fetching packages from it, with obvious problems (speed, bandwidth, etc.)
I'd like to setup two deb proxies with apt-cacher-ng per site.

How can I achieve some sort of redundancy on each client? I'd like to configure them so they can attempt to contact proxy1.site, then proxy2.site, then fallback to the main repo.
I realise it's not something apt-cacher-ng should really care about but I'd like to know how you're solving this in your setups. Loadbalancer? DNS views? Clever scripting? :)

Thanks,
Nicola
