It's okay, let's do it like this. We should keep in mind the fact that a 
server in the list may be down and manage it accordingly. A good way to 
do it would be to trap ssh connexion error and retry with another server 
in the list. If no servers are available, a message should be shown to 
the user to inform that it won't be able to start a session.

I'm dedicated to that this week.

Have a nice day,
