In order to handle network partitions and down machines, it would be helpful if Prometheus could be given multiple alertmanagers it can talk to, so that if the one it picks doesn't respond in a timely fashion (or fails), it could try one of the others.

We are about to start more detailed planning of a highly available Alertmanager. This will also involve Prometheus being aware of all Alertmanagers for the scenario you described.

The latter alone is not the full story so this will certainly take a while.
How urgent is your use case?

Only medium-term. I'm in the middle of creating a prometheus proof-of-concept, and noticed this when I was setting up the cluster.

It's right on top of our list. Keep an eye on the mailing list if you are interested – a design doc might be posted there sooner or later.
