I don't suppose it's possible to duplicate the entry node MVS1N? If it's only role is to route files, it might be worth fixing the SPOF. Then you could have dual links and just let one go down with MVS1N. Another option would be an outboard NJE node that isn't dependent on MVS1N at all. Use an

I think you could use link groups here. You'd have to define MVS1A and MVS1B to VM, then create a group MVS1 that contains the MVS1A and MVS1B links. You could then route files passing through RSCS to GROUP MVS1 and it would pick the first available link to queue it on. If MVS1A went away, then
