Perspective Workstation supports launching directly against the backup if the master is down and will return to the master when it comes back online. One caveat here is workstation caches the address to the backup, so if it has changed since the last time workstation was opened and was able to communicate with the master it will fail, though that _should_ be an unlikely scenario.

Hope that helps,
