This is not a good solution, but a stop-gap with the present system.
What we do is create links for /sys/help and much of our software for
disk space reasons.  All links off a particular node are in the form
/softlink/xxx.  For example, CRL /sys/help /softlink/sys/help.  Then, a
single link /softlink points to a node entry directory.  In this way, if
the node is down a single command will retarget all of the links.
However, this is still a manual reconfiguration, which only solves a
small part of your problem.
