Andrew,

   thanks for this information. Is there any way to influence the  
"weight" of the resource rather than just by pure number? Some  
resources are more intensive than others. I don't think increasing the  
score for the backup will work in a N+1 type backup scheme. As nodes  
fail I don't want all the resources to keep going to the backup. I'd  
like them to be spread evenly across the available nodes. It seems  
like this scenario will work correctly if I could give the different  
resources some type of weighting factor.

thanks,
kevin
