Hi Ryanne, Thanks for the comment. If I understand your question correctly, I think the answer is no. I would expect typical selection logic to consider replica availability first before any other factor. In some cases, however, a user may put a higher priority on saving cross-dc traffic costs. If a preferred replica is unavailable, they may prefer to wait some time for it to be restored before routing traffic elsewhere. Does that make sense?
