[reSIProcate] DNS SRV multiple records and timeouts

[Nathan Stratton <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on http://www.resiprocate.org/DNS a SRV with two hosts where the first host is down that the stack will only greylist it. This seams like a redundancy issue since grey lists are only checked when all other non-blacklisted results are checked. All incoming requests to that SRV record would need to try the bad host over and over before trying the 2nd host in the record. Would it not make sense to blacklist a timeout host so that the next request would move to the good host?
