fallback-mount

-This specifies a mountpoint that is used in the case of a source disconnect. If listeners are connected to the mount specified by the <mount-name> config value, then if the source is disconnected; all currently connected clients will be moved to the fallback-mount. +This optional value specifies a mountpoint that clients are automatically moved to if the source +shuts down or is not streaming at the time a listener connects. Only one can be listed in each +mount and should refer to another mountpoint on the same server that is streaming in the same +streaming format.
+If clients cannot fallback to another mountpoint, due to a missing fallback-mount or it states a +mountpoint that is just not available, then those clients will be disconnected. +If clients are falling back to a mountpoint and the fallback-mount is not actively streaming +but defines a fallback-mount itself then those clients may be moved there instead. +This multi-level fallback allows clients to cascade several mountpoints.
