Connect players to a fallback server when main backend server is down

I'm currently using a setup very similar to the one on the Docker Compose Usage example for our survival server.

I'm wondering if there is a way to configure a fallback server to connect players to when the main server is down. Mainly to show an MOTD message, but also so we still have a smaller server to hang around in to wait for the main server host to come back up.

If this is not yet a feature then I think it would be very useful to have.

It's not yet a feature, but sounds like a good idea.

Given this is a low level router and not a proxy like Velocity, when implemented users would need to manually disconnect and reconnect to pick up the main server when it is running.

Yeah, that is kinda the behavior I was expecting. Would be very useful

Thank you!
