[MOBY-dev] BioMoby central dead...

[Paul Gordon]

Actually, I lied. It's even easier.  If the LSID for the list of 
centrals is urn:lsid:biomoby.org:... we can just add lower priority LSID 
data servers to the biomoby.org SRV records for 
_lsid._tcp.biomoby.org...mirror LSID servers for Moby Central data.
