I think this won't be such a bad solution. It can also solve the problem
that if somebody can't do a TCP-query (the result is a long dns answer)
that he can still select an broker.
I won't let the user choose but first try to use bind/host, if this
failed because they don't exist or tcp query failed I can go to the
backup list.
