> Second hash ring for consistently hashed parent selection

> It would be incredibly useful if we allowed for an (optional) second hash
> ring in the consistent hashing in parent selection. Imagine a setup where you
> have two set of parent proxies. A child would prefer to always use a parent
> <n> in ring <A> for a set of URLs, <X>. In the case of parent <n> not being
> available, instead of rehashing <X> to the surviving members of ring <A>, we
> could now hash the URLs to parent <m> in ring <B>. Upon failure there, we'd
> then go back and rehash on the primary ring again (<A>).
> This sounds complicated, but is simple in principle. Instead of immediately
> rehashing content upon a parent failure, we have a backup pool (potentially
> remote) of parents, that are likely to have the content. The idea is to
> minimize origin server traffic at all cost.
