I have a MongoDB replica set in EC2, most of which is located on the East coast.
Two read/write nodes, one hidden zero-priority 4hour delay node for backup purposes, and one arbiter.
I just added a 4th hidden zero-priority node in a West Coast EC2 zone. I would like to prevent any reads from it (hidden) and I would like to prevent it from becoming primary unless the entire East Coast replica is down. Currently with 0-priority it's never going to go primary unless I manually go in and change it.
Suggestions?
I might possibly need to add an arbiter on the West Coast as well?
Thanks!
