Compounding this is the fact that the clients receive the replica list

All in all it's a real crap shoot as to what server you get.
I wouldn't call it a crap shoot.. I mean really a crap shoot is what
I'd be after. I'd call it consistent and relatively predictable but
difficult to change. I mean AD manages site policy and it's pretty
straightforward. The idea isn't that hard at a minimal level. But I'm a
little worried about the speed with which Tiger is coming out the door
(am I'm a well of positive energy today) so I don't see any features
like this down the road- much less in a baked, usable package.
