I explained earlier today that this is on the wish list. Unfortunately,
the patch you gave, though it may work for you, isn't the whole story.
Before this can be done, the keys for the retry records must be changed
from just being IP addresses, to being IP addreses + ports. Otherwise, a
failure on one port would affect connections to other ports on the same
IP address, which does not seem right. I *almost* got to do this item,
and then my new workstation arrived and I was away and now it is nearly
November and other things must take priority...
