Indeed, this should be a pretty easy project.  The client already maintains a 
flag to tell if all the auth servers are down.  It should only be a matter of 
hooking in the auth server status code, adding a short circuit firewall rule 
somewhere in the tables, and clearing it once an auth server becomes 
available again.
