that would worry me... some places have poor connectivity across low
bandwidth high latency links which drop out every so often. This
strategy would mean that a host that wasn't available on first connect
might never be tried long enough to actually make a tcp connection
after that.
having a few more queue runners and tweaking your retry times up would
seem to be a better solution.
