The client does choose randomly among the boxes, but they may be busy.
Think SMTP & MX records with multiple primary and secondary servers. The client connects to one of the primary servers. All is good if it can be processed quickly. If not, I want the connection to be rejected so the client tries another primary box. If none of the primaries can take it, then it goes to the secondaries. It should be handled by the primaries if possible, but it should not queue for them: it is more important that it is handled by something quickly, whether primary or secondary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
