FYI: [Fwd: wget 1.10.x: New option --random to randomize the dns result]

[Jerry Lundström]

This problem has been happening to me, ratler and a few others for quite
some time now. It's the getaddrinfo() IPv6 interface in glibc that uses
RFC 3484 and sorts the result meaning if you have a mirror in your
network you will always get that ip no matter what.

I hope they accept the patch so we can once again do true round robin
mirroring!
