Depending on whether you are then looking for load balancing or redundancy or a combination of both you can use further settings in the pm.settings on the pmrun/pmlocald agents.

FailOverTimeout 10
SelectHostRandom followed by a "yes" will loadbalance the masterhost list in a random order each time and use this list as its connect order for masterhosts, eg
