Rclone union fails when one remote is offline

Some reading maybe:

Union "Fail Over"

In production I don't use any vfs cache on my union yet... I think the union should have built-in failover yeah...otherwise what's the point? It should work like this: file is opened, it will follow the union policy, in my case it's random...so it will randomly pick a remote and try to open a file, if that fails for whatever reason, it should call another random remote, and only give up if all remotes fail... It would be sensible to mark failed files in the remotes as "dead" for 24 hours. I'm…

I don't think so offhand as there isn't a way I know to do it.

Maybe @ncw has an idea as he tends to think out of the box as rclone is expecting remotes to exist.
