From the Riak CS docs, I understand that only one Stanchion server should be used for a cluster. In my cluster I'm spinning up identical machines that all have the same setup, so that theoretically any machine could takeover if needed.

Ideally I would like to have Stanchion also running on all servers and if the main Stanchion server fails, I want another server to take over that role. Can this work or do I need to isolate the Stanchion server on to a separate machine (with a failover machine)? Or can I configure a list of IPs for the Stanchion server, so that if the main one becomes unavailable automatically the next one is tried?

You don't have to isolate Stanchion in separate box. At the latest version of CS has riak-cs-stanchion command to switch Stanchion host and port to new ones manually. Please make sure that former Stanchion is down before running this command to all CS nodes. Well, sooo a late answer.
