If we could set the agent's server to run on with a failover option

We all know (or I hope we do) that in lotusscript you can open a db with failover.
So if you are clustering and on node goes down, your code will still execute. A very important option IMHO.

Agents are a key part of applications running on servers. Same scenario one node goes down and oops my agents do not run. Bummer. I know someone wrote Lotusscript code to have agents work in this scenario, but what about formula agents? Or what if I have 500 agents on the server and want this functionality. EWWWWW.

I think that we should be able to set agents server to run on with failover. This would be a simple and elegant solution and aid in Disaster recovery planning.

I am going to post this in the partner forum as a wish list, but let me hear your thoughts
