well, not exactly, in fact... every so often, you will end up choosing  
the same 1 out of 4 hosts twice in a row at random, but the procedures  
basically say to choose one at random if they're evenly prioritized  
and evenly weighted.... so saying "i'm gonna keep this one for later  
user" kind of goes against "random"

That said, I'm really just about done with this thread since I don't  
personally agree with the spec in this case anyway since stale nonce  
checking makes sense to avoid replay attacks, etc.  Although, I  
haven't looked at the specs to see if checking for stale nonces breaks  
any specs... that might be an interesting search ;-)
