You can try all in parallel (threads!), choose the faster and send the
request to it. If that fails, try again, discarding that node. If you
have discarded all servers, start over again a couple of times. If that
fails, report failure to the user and surrender.
Are you actually suggesting I add threads to *easy_install*?
I'm not sure I could handle that kind of excitement. ;-)
