o reachability saying "no" doesn't guarantee that the connection will fail

Can you elaborate on that? It's the part I don't understand. As I said above, I thought that a "no" meant the IP routing tables were telling me "you can't get there from here." In what cases would there be a false negative?

(…other than race conditions where the host becomes reachable right after I make the call. I'm using the observation mode so I get notified when reachability changes.)

One of the reasons I don't want to try first is that the attempt might take a long time to fail due to DNS timeouts or whatever. It's a better user experience if I immediately tell the API client (and thus the user) "you're offline", rather than attempting to connect for 30 seconds before giving up.
