Sounds good. If I have 5 multicast siblings (squid) then DR origin set as sibling but originserver flag, then Primary web servers as parent will it still follow the heirachy? So squid multicast siblings, then if object not found DR sibling/origin servers, and then primary parent before it gives a 404 if it is not found on the parent? That would be awesome if that works :-) will test once I get to the office.
