Did I misunderstand you? How about : doing a script (say in perl, it has random numbers) that randomly picks : the server from a list? That way, the list could even be weighted, so as : to allow for greater or lesser machine resources (like net access). That's one of the things I have to fix up. This script is good for me, but bad for everyone. Enhancements like this would be a good thing. Got time?
