Re: updated load balancing qmail-qmqpc.c mods

Re-read my point: its unnecessary.  I didn't say it wouldn't work.  I said
the CPU use of doing it this way was unnecessary over a simpler round-robin
approach (After picking an initial random server).

Note: I think using an array of pointers to server addresses would allow you
to do your rotations a lot faster.  Think "point quicksort".
