Yes, placemarks are good across gateways.  They're basically just the  
hash of the value returned, and values are returned in the order of  
their hashes.  So unless you hit a different quorum on a subsequent  
get (very unlikely, but it does happen), you'll get the right  
behavior despite changing gateways midstream.
