Multisite Active-Standby SR's with Failure Domains

I need help understanding something. I've been referencing NSX Reference Design Guides, Multi-Location Design Guides, and a lot more but haven't quite found what I'm looking for. 

In my lab environment, I have an edge cluster stretched between two sites. Site A has two edge nodes and Site B has two edge nodes. All North/South traffic should be routed through Site A unless it goes completely down and then Site B would take over. I've created my failure domains with Site A being the preferred site. I also want my SR's running in Active-Standby mode. So essentially, I would have one Active edge node out of all four nodes. If it goes down, the other edge node at site A should take over. Only if both of those edge nodes go down should the nodes at Site B take over. 

Most of what I've found in VMware documents and online only discuss failure domains with an active-active SR configuration. Does anyone know if there's a way to specifically configure the node failover the way I'm wanting? Will I be achieving this by configuring Active-Standby on my SRs and creating the two failure domains?
