That doesn't matter - in my experience, the AFS cache manager does not
gracefully fall back to other replication sites. For instance, if the
bosserver pages on you and tries to go to a server that is down or
restarting it'll croak. Your basic problem is that you are causing
your AFS fileservers to depend on AFS, which gets you into ugly
dependency loops.
At the very least, you should have /usr/afs on the local disk.
