> This enhancement request comes from working with a network of brokers, where each node in itself has a master/slave fault tolerant configuration. 
> In a 2x2 setup currently you would have a failover url on the client side consisting of 4 single urls (2 masters, 2 slaves). Once a broker dies the JMS client would reconnect 
> using one of the 4 urls either randomly chosen or in sequence of the url definition.
> That might cause the client to reconnect to a broker that belongs to the other master/slave pair. As master/slave is designed to preserve the session state etc, it would be preferable 
> that the client tries to connect to the new master in its own master/slave group and only if that fails, connect to another broker.
> I would imagine a nested scheme of configurations, something like:
> failover:(failover:(master1,slave1)?randomize=false,failover:(master2,slave2)?randomize=false)?randomize=true 
> instead of 
> failover:(master1,slave1,master2,slave2)
