IIRC, all data connectors can have failovers, but it's not impossible this
is broken or limited in some way for those connectors. Could you verify
that one way or the other, and if needed, file a RFE against V3 for this.
Won't be immediate, but I'll make sure the new ones properly handle
failure options. I don't believe in the "one failure fails everything"
mode that Chad tended to favor, and I'd rather not have to define
failovers just for that flag.
