Changes to our DNS SRV record sorting, care of Vijay Vijay Raghunathan from Meebo. SRV records have two fields that determine the order in which the results should be used: 1. Priority (which we call "pref" for some reason). Records with a lower priority will be used first. 2. Weight. Records with a higher weight are more likely to be used first, but there is some amount of randomness. We were actually doing this backwards and using records with lower weight first. And we weren't randomizing. But now we are.
