IMO the way to deal with this is to just add a bit of logic so you don't get 2 consecutive connections to the same host. Making a connection with the static connectors, getting the topology, closing the connection, and then making another connection with the topology is wasteful.
In any case, an option not to use the topology at all would be useful. That is, after all, what this thread is really about.
