onegative,
With such a small number of hosts, you are very likely to hit the same host repeatedly by grabbing a random host. Why do you feel that you can't keep track of which host was previously called? Have you seen Storable and DBM::Deep? Another solution, which can be just as problematic as using rand may be to use Time::HiRes. Divide a second into 4 quarters and choose which host to use based on which quarter you are in at runtime. Cheers - L~R
