The mount will not die as long as you have atleast one server up in each 
replicate pair. The mount will _fail_, however, if server1 is offline at the 
time of mounting. You can work-around that by setting up a DNS name that 
round-robins across all server. Or you could hack up a script that pings a 
server before selecting it for the mount.
