Ok, I will try that. But that won't get rid of the "Could not connect"
messages would it? What I think will happen is spread will still
sporadically fail to connect, but when it tries to send a message it should
try to reconnect. That should work, but the programmers will see all the
"could not connect" messages and call me at midnight *GRIN*. I think I will
make the above suggested patch, it's a good idea to have it do that. But
I'll also dig into the O'reilly perl book and see about having it try
multiple times for the initial connect before giving up.

Thanks!
