A connectFailed and/or queryReject should add a penalty as follows:
rt_estimate += prob_connectFailed *
(time_connectFailed(node) + time_globalRequest) +
prob_queryReject *
(time_queryReject(node) + time_globalRequest)
This is because the cost of either of these is the cost of waiting for
the connectFailed or queryReject to occur, plus the time required to get
the data from someone else.
