Hi Tony Its purely a backup connectivity issue so that if the cluster you connect goes down (either due to power, maintenance, internet problems, etc) you are connected to a secondary cluster for spots. Some people have creative ideas like connecting to one node for US spots only and a second one for all spots etc.
