Multiple Server Configuration

It is possible to define several servers in the configuration object as backup.

Example:

                        
serverList: [{
        host: "sub1.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    },
    {
        host: "sub2.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    },
    {
        host: "sub3.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    }
]
