Hello,

I am new to graphite and needing to use statsd with it.  I am setting up a 
master/slave config for multiple graphite servers with load balancing between 
statsd and carbon as a failsafe measure for if, I mean when my master crashes.  
However, my question is what should I do for failover protection on the statsd 
end.   

What is the best/recommended method for this.  How should my workers deal with 
statsd crashing?  I've put a basic example down below to illustrate my question 
(poorly drawn, but the point should be there).

This might be a newbie question, but I was having trouble finding  
documentation for this issue.  Also, I know the nature of UDP makes this issue 
tough to deal, so any pointers/suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
