we all argue it out here in the bug report thread, and eventually ~agree ;) 

Daryl has raised a great point -- I agree, 'next-host' would be better.
what should happen if there are more --filter-retries than there are -d hosts? 
IMO once it reaches the end of the shuffled -d list, it should *then*
re-randomize and start from the first host in the randomized list.
