First, can we keep this discussion on the wifidog mailing list, there is 
already way too much traffic on volunteers.

Second, i'm having trouble following the code in ping.c, I cannot find a 
compare between the current auth adress and the one returned by DNS.  Does it 
check that the ip still matches a every ping?  If not, a ping won't fail if 
the auth server ip changes, so the adress has to be explicitely checked with 
DNS and then trigger auth server rotation (and ideally attempting to stay on 
the same server first).
