Perhaps we could add a new response code to Gemini, an optional
redirect of sorts. For example, the client requests
gemini://capsule-one.com, and the META would look something like this:
gemini://capsule-two.com text/gemini
This would specify an alternative location that serves the same
content.
There is certainly a need for that. HTTP does it with the Alt-Svc:header.

This would work with .onion redirects, but also simple mirror sites.
There is also the canonical link relation.

But the problem is how to have these services without addingextensible features, headers and HTTP complexity.
