You can make them read-only, and do pass-through for write operations to the main repository for low grade failover behavior, but mirrors are always, always, always at risk of split-brain problems for write operations *unless* you invest enormous sophistication in keeping them synced with the master, *or* unless you just inveest some cash up front in the more sophisticated commercial tools our friends and developers over at Wandisco provide their commercial grade "Multi-Site" setups. Doing manual switchovers of clients to an aalternative upstream mirrored site is awkward and painful enough that, for commercial use, I'd go to Multi-Site based tools in a heartbeat..
