I don't suppose it's possible to duplicate the entry node MVS1N? If it's only role is to route files, it might be worth fixing the SPOF. Then you could have dual links and just let one go down with MVS1N.
Another option would be an outboard NJE node that isn't dependent on MVS1N at all. Use an Intel box or a Linux guest as a "shadow" of the link between RSCS and MVS1N, and let the shadow box serve as the backup link.

I suppose, we could start a timer in a service machine and have is issue the commands to switch to the group if the link was down and more than x jobs were queued or any job was queued for longer than some threshold value on the link. It would also have to be the one to detect that the link was back up and reroute the traffic back. Regards, Richard Schuh
