Say you have a hub and spoke situation and the hub and spokes are in a cluster.

Now my HUB is Active in several cities as DR failovers. Can you have an application (spoke) point to one specific HUB and fail to another, then a third in a predefined sequence. Do I need a Cluster Exit to achieve this.

Can I use one of the BIND options to allocate a primary site and when that isn't available connect to the second.

I guess what I am trying to achieve is sort of a DNS failover using MQSeries Clustering. Is this at all possible?????

With V6, you can specify a "cluster priority" (CLWLPRTY) at the channel and queue level. As long as a higher priorty cluster queue mgr is available, it will be selected by the default cluster workload exit. If it becomes unavailable, then the next lower priority qmgr would be selected. I think this does what you want.

Without providing your own exit, I don't think you can do this in v5.3

As I in my past have written a cluster exit, I confirm what wschutz said - you cannot do this in 5.3 without writing an exit. 5.3 does round-robin and there's no way of changing it thru configuration.
