If concern is only about excluding address which was tried previously. Then I think we can try this way, randomly permute given address list (for example fisher-yates shuffle) before trying any of those address in it. After that you can treat the new list exactly like we do for sequential connections. I think this makes code less complex. -- Thanks and Regards Mithun C Y EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
