forklift proposal: make pallets aware of servers

Pallets and their data would be copied to the servers they are aware of.

	arcgis_servers: []

To make it backwards compatible with existing pallets, we can add a property to the servers array that will be used if the pallet does not describe an arcgis_servers property.

	copyAlways: true

This would allow forklift to manage multiple disparate arcgis servers with different configurations.

For instance, forklift could manage the data on the geocoding server, the wri server, and other managed servers that are not mapserv.

👍 if you agree or comment to modify

I agree with this, but I think that it should wait until after v9.

I also like it. It would be nice to use it to update gcp arcgis servers also.

How would this work with the shipTo config option? That may need to be pushed onto each pallet as well.

It would make sense to put it on the servers config options but if you aren't using servers and are only moving data around that would fail. I suppose shipTo could be a default and it could be overridden in the pallet.
