I wrote a little wrapper script for remctl for afs purposes:

     http://www.personal.psu.edu/~atc135/afs-control

In theory you could have several remctld servers that can be used for afs 
operations (in my case, calling afs-backend with some hacks to make it use 
LDAP for access contorl). The afs-control wrapper would randomize over a 
list of hostnames in $AFS_BACKEND_SERVERS, and continue trying until it 
found one that worked.
