Jobs generated by a single Poisson source can be routed through N alternative gateways, modelled as parallel M/M/1 queues. The servers are subject to random breakdowns which leave their corresponding queues intact, but may affect the routing of jobs during the subsequent repair periods. The marginal equilibrium queue size distributions are determined by spectral expansion. This can be done, at least in principle, for any number of queues. Several routing strategies are evaluated and compared empirically.
