Boy, Jewel is pretty old. Even Luminous is getting up there. There have been a 
lot of multisite improvements in Mimic and now Nautilus, so you might want to 
consider upgrading all the way to 14.2.4.

Anyway, the way we solve this is by giving each zone a different name (eg 
application1a/application1b), and then having a virtual IP for application1. We 
then move the virtual IP around whichever zone we want to have accepting 
traffic for that zonegroup. In our case we're advertising the virtual IP on all 
of the radosgw instances using bgp and then letting our routers do per-stream 
ECMP to load balance the traffic. Each RGW in each cluster checks the realm's 
period every few seconds and decides to announce/withdraw the IP based on 
whether that rgw's zone is the master zone for the zonegroup (plus whether the 
rgw instance is healthy, etc). 

We have both application1.example.com <http://application1.example.com/> and 
application1a/application1b.example.com <http://application1b.example.com/> as 
hostnames in the zonegroup config, but just application1.example.com 
<http://application1.example.com/> for the endpoint. I'm not sure what the 
equivalent settings are on Jewel's multisite, if any. If you're routing radosgw 
traffic through a reverse proxy or load balancer you can also rewrite the host 
header on the fly.

Hope this helps,
Ed
