Add possibility for multiple Gate.Jdbc.Url's in JDBC gateway properties file

Is it useful for installations where for example DB2 databases are hosted on remote locations in different subnets (like geo redundant data centers) where virtual ip address cannot be created.

Everybody with such db2 database would benefit from it as gateway could connect to standby database when primary goes down.
