There are two disadvantages to this approach: It decreases the parallelisation
factor and it won't help with temporarily disappearing daemons, for instance
during upgrades or other restarts. A superior paradigm (IMHO) is to move the
burden to client developers to implement retry schemes. Hence, connect()
becomes an asynchronous and otherwise fault-tolerant operation.
For example, many applications relying on persistent SQL server connections
currently break when the server is restarted - shouldn't the goal be to not
let them break when the service is temporarily not available?
