[Serusers] question about relay

[Greger V. Teigre]

I believe SER resolves all addresses once: at startup. This is for 
performance reasons. AFAIK, there are only two ways: make the cluster 
dynamic with one IP address or hack a DNS server so that it will return the 
same (loadbalanced) NAPTR records (to your cluster) and use the enum module. 
It qualifies as a hack over all hacks, though...
