I think the syntax is something like:
* machine1,machine2:/dir/&
this way who ever answers first gets mounted. if one fails then you fail
to the other, if the dir can be unmounted, ie not busy. I believe it will
fail over if you use -ro
can't mount both on the same mount point, anyway, and I belive the file is
read from top to bottom.
cheers,
