Hi Maarten
..good news!

Seems like rugby XPi ping should have a /bounce or /search refinement.
If if does'nt get to the first server it i'll try to go through a list of
alternates.
Likewise if some threshhold metric is reached on the ping-ed Xpi server it
can tell the pinger to go ping some others. The ping table format might
include some weighting value of where to go. The weighting could then be
adjusted by each node in a rugby network based on hops or some other
criteria..
make object! [
r.1: [url weight]
r.2: [url weight]
etc..

Perhaps this doesn't belong inside rubgy itself, and its not strictly
'ping', but I can easily imagine distributed services needing a lot of
redundacy support to be trully user friendly, and that means optimizing
which this extends to.
