Hi Yujun,

The way you solve this problem is to visit the preferred places first. So, 
in this case you would send the client to the dCache XRootD redirector and 
if it does not have the file it would send the client to the EOS XRootD 
redirector. Now, I am assuming that this is the way it is setup. If not, 
then we may need a different plan.

When a file is located in either EOS or dCache side, things are working as expected. However, when a file is located on both EOS and dCache, it seems EOS redirector is always chosen instead of dCache redirector. This is not ideal for us as we want to the files to be accessed from dCache XRootD redirector first.
