Log Message:
Reduced lifetime for a server in cache from 20 to 5 client attempts to use
metaserver.
20 was just too long especially in light of INL servers that pop on and off the
metaserver
on a frequent basis.
Added check in savemetascache to not save servers that aren't responding to
ping requests,
as they are either defunct, or the metacache entry for that server name is
somehow corrupted.
Undid the change in order of loading metacache and receiving metaserver info,
didn't see
any change in performance from the change.
