In message <Pine.BSF.4.21.0001211603190.320-100000@picnic.mat.net> Chuck Robey writes: : I would think using a fixed order would be a really bad thing, causing : overload of the first server in line. 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?
