Embarassingly, we resolve SRV but don't retry if primary fails. We will
implement it certainly, I am just not sure when is that going to be.

As for distributing load accross a gateway pool, it quite works
with failure_route processing -- it gets us the ability to try again
at some other place. It doesn't provide predefined distribution as
it "amortizes" the first gateway, whereas backup gateway is only
used when primary is unavailable or overloaded (501 or other negative
reply coming back). 

If one wanted to have a well-defined load-distribution scheme for
a downstream gateway pool, DNS/SRV or a specialized module could
be used -- I'm not yet sure which would be better off.
