Has anybody built a microprocessor controlled PLL to handle this case?  If you 
have the microprocessor and DAC, watching a second input and switching in 
software doesn't seem like a big step.

Can I put two switches in series?  The is-it-working logic has to be look 
before the first switch, but the first switch is on-off rather than A-B.  It 
can be in a separate package placed to minimize feed-through.
