From: David Sommerseth <d...@users.sourceforge.net>
Based on a discussion on the mailing list and in the IRC meeting Feb 18,
it was decided to remove get_random() from the getaddr() function as that
can conflict with round-robin/randomization done by DNS servers.
This change must be documented in the release notes.
