Client re-dialing

[philhofer]

The client should make a decent effort to re-dial a bad connection.

Perhaps a client should hold more than one connection? (Benchmarking should tell us whether or not that actually improves throughput.)

An update: at this point, there's no indication that using more than one network connection per client actually improves performance. But client should still re-dial.

How about a different RedialClient that redials if the connection is lost, I could see certain users wanting to know when a connection is lost (the normal Client)?

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, *ClusterClient with one remote address already does this, albeit with a little more overhead than is strictly necessary.
