Multiple alternate gatekeepers?

Can GnuGK be configured with multiple alternate gatekeepers, on a per-endpoint or per "zone" basis?

I'm trying to provide survivability for our endpoints in remote offices, but still want to use the power in GnuGK for re-writing, etc.

Codian 3241 ISDN gateways have a built-in gatekeeper.  Ordinarily, I register the units at a location with the GK inside the Codian, because it's local to them, 
so is available even if the WAN is down.

The Codian's register prefixes "1" and "011", which here in the U.S. means that users can simply dial the ISDN destination without any special prefixes or 
escape codes - they just dial as if they were dialing a phone.

However, the Codian doesn't have powerful re-writing capability.

Ideally, I would like the units to register with the GnuGK, so that if a user places a call to an internal end-point but dials it with a "1" in front (which due 
to the prefix registration means that their call goes over ISDN rather than IP) I can use GnuGK to rewrite the called number and send it via IP.

However, if the WAN connection is down, then the units would register with their alt GK (their local Codian 3241 ISDN gateway) and still be able to take / make 
calls, because in that case the prefix "1" is valid and the call should go over ISDN.

Because I have many sites, I really don't want to deploy many many GnuGK's.
