    Don't use 'failover' setting. Use Media Host Override. Host Properties -> Master -> General Server -> Media Host Override.

    Alternatively, change all image/media ownership from 'oldserver' to 'newserver':

    bpimage -newserver <new-server> -oldserver <old-server>

Just changing the Media Host Override is all that was needed.  I will change all media ownership once the old file server is retired.  While I'm sure all responses are valid resolutions to my question, this was the simplest to implement.  Thanks all for the prompt responses.
