That's ok, but what happens if the first data center becomes a crater
in the ground? The workers will still be trying to send to the
non-existent manager. Even if you have shared SSH keys from the
secondary server to push out a new config that makes it the manager,
its still a manual process and if something happens to make a data
center a crater, manually switching Bro would likely be low on the
list of priorities.

Ideally I'd like to see each worker send to two servers in tandem.
