Looking for some best practice for a failover mechanism: straming from 2 OBS encoders to primary and backup and then to Akamai.  
**Currently, even without the primary stream failure, sometimes (randomly) the streams would switch from primary to backup and back and forth, during session.**  
When trying to use the origin/edge repeater configuration (setting up Akamai targets on the Wowza edge), looks like the edge would not stream to Akamai at all.  
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
