generally should not be accessed except via the gateway. Still, to allow
simulating that, it would be possible to have a new type of connection,

Alternative approach: Let a cluster node be initialized, which is an
overlay over a repository which shares all of its configuration
except for its uuid. Every change to the location log of a cluster
node is immediately propigated to every repository that has a connection
to it. It is also propigated to the underlaying repository. This lets
more than one cluster node be initialized for the same repository, for
when it is in multiple clusters or behind multiple gateways in the same
cluster.

will work
