[Mailman-Users] Disaster recovery: fastest / best route advice sought

[Fil]

I would suggest that, on the Web server, you just proxy /mailman/ to your
Mailman's web service.

If you're using apache, something like this on the Web front-end will do:

ProxyPass /mailman http://ml.example.com/mailmanProxyPassReverse
/mailman http://ml.example.com/mailman

If you're using varnish, all the better, just define the mailman URL as a
backend.
