Question on using multiple servers in sab

I read this (
http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-servers-v2) but I want to make sure I setup my configuration correctly. I want to use Newsgroupdirect as my primary server to download everything from, then I want to use my Astraweb block as a backup fill server, and then I want to use all of my other free less reliable servers as the last resort to try and fill in potential missing blocks.
This is how I have it now, is everything correct?
Newsgroupdirect Server
Enable
SSL
Astraweb Server
Enable
SSL
Backup Server
All my free servers:
Enable
SSL
Backup Server
Optional

If I read
http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-servers-v2 , I don't think Optional does what you want.
But anyway: why not try the setup you describe?

"Optional" is used for servers that are unreliable.
It allows SABnzbd to discard them for 10 minutes so that they do not disturb
the download with lots of timeouts.
I think you should not set free servers as "Backup", because then they will
never be used. The most expensive server should be "Backup".
(I.e. when your expensive server is pay-per-GB).

I only want the free servers used to try and fill a missing article if it's not on one of my pay for servers When I had my free servers marked as just optional, sabnzbd was using them to download them along with my main server which would corrupt the downloads. I have my free not reliable servers marked as optional and backup now, I haven't downloaded anything to see what it does but I will soon.
Like I mentioned in my OP I want sabnzbd to first use newsgroupdirect to download from, and if it can't find the piece, then I want it to use Astraweb as a secondary server to fill in anything that could be missing. If it still can't find the piece then I want it to use my free servers.
