Note that there's a lot of overlap between keepalived and feedbackd here 
- feedbackd does the first four of these points already.

However, feedbackd has no provision for backup directors - the agent can 
only communicate with one master at a time. One idea here is to adapt 
NECP to a multicast protocol to remove the need for separate 
connections.
