I did some hacking today. The results are in cvs under
the dproxy-nexgen branch.

There is now a new config option to enable this.

OK what I did is have the next server in the list
queried whenever 2 seconds pass without a response.
Edit dproxy.h to change this value.

New option in dproxy.conf to enable this.

New option in dproxy.conf. Note when the memory cache
gets full LRU entries are flushed to disk. This also
happens periodically.

It would be great to get some feedback from testers.
