Jason - thanks for all the help on the process here!

As for the case where filter-retries exceeds the number of hosts, I'm not sure
re-randomizing the list will be very helpful.  Right now the randomization is
not truly random - it just rotates the list a random number of times.  So if
the host list is A,B,C, B will always follow A, and C will always follow B, but
we start in a random point.  If we exhaust the list of hosts to try, I think it
makes just as much sense to start over, hoping that the problem was a temporary
one.  

Of course, we could also re-impliment the randomize function to truly shuffle
up the hosts randomly.  But I'm not sure we gain enough to be worth it.
