Support fallback/backup remote compute hosts #230

Open felixbrucker opened 8 months ago

Currently if specifying multiple recompute hosts, the requests are loadbalanced between them, which is fine for spreading the load on mutiple machines with automatic reduandancy if n-1 machines go down. It however wont support the usecase where one/multiple machines should only be used in case all others are unavailable. For example: a local recompute as primary and the gaming desktop as failover. It is undesirable to constantly be recomputing while gaming, but during maintenance/downtime of the primary recompute its acceptable.
