Making a fill server with 6.50 Build 3126

I can't find any option anywhere to make a second server a fill server. The option used to be there on my previous Newbin Pro version.

6.50 has server priorities now. The higher the priority, the less likely it is to be used. So, if your primary server is priority 1, set the "fill" server to be priority 2 or higher. If you have multiple fill servers you can control the order in which they're used with the priority.

To be clear, the higher priority number means the server will be used later. Multiple servers can have the same priority number so they get used at the same time. We had a big discussion about which way to go with priority numbers when this was implemented. Think of it this way:

Priority 1 = first priority
Bigger numbers are later priorities.
