This was reiterated at a recent OSG/Globus collaboration meeting...

It would be really nice if there was a well-understood and tested mechanism to provide load balancing and failover in GRAM by having multiple gatekeepers. This is not trivial because submitting a job to one gatekeeper creates state on that gatekeeper. That said, production sites would like to find ways to keep a site running when a single gatekeeper goes down.
