[EP-tech] Feature Request: Failover from Publisher Version to Repository Version

I would like to have an eprints repository preferentially supply the full
text from or via the publisher website where that is open access, but have a
failover provision of the full text from a local copy in the repository. This
would help repositories to support open access journals (which for a variety
of reasons would often wish to route request for the papers through their
websites/archives, not least for centralised download tracking) while still
using the repository as a certain provider of free access in case the
publisher site is down, has moved the paper from its URI, or shifted to
access restrictions.
