Add Nearest secondary read preference

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

We would like to avoid the nearest read reference to connect to the primary.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Add new read preference "NearestSecondary" OR
new "secondary only" option under existing "nearest" read preference

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

There is no options to utilize secondary & nearest read preference together

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Use secondary read preference instead of nearest
