How to add a search head, but not as a member of the cluster, in a multisite search head clustering environment?

We have a multisite cluster which has search head clustering configured and all is working fine. I want to add a single search head to the cluster (not to the shcluster), but need to be site aware. Using local search peers on site1 and only using other sites 2 & 3 if site1 is not available.
