Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice if you could specify a secondary url in case the primary tile server url doesn't work.
Describe the solution you'd like
have another parameter in the embed code to specify a second tile server if the first tileserver fails
Sorry if this is already in Openlayers, but I couldn't find it

Research direction
Start by locating the embed-code entry point and the existing primary tile-server URL handling. The issue names no file or test; clarify what counts as a failed primary server and how fallback should behave, then verify that a secondary URL can be specified and used when the primary fails.
