not to be patronizing...

If you are seeing the list of all replicas in preference order, that *is* an accurate answer.  It's printing them from the in-memory volume structure.  "fs checkservers" is the command to see which servers are down.  If you want to change the order, use "fs setserverprefs" and then look at what 
"fs whereis" tells you.
