Description

Clients periodically check with the locator to see if they would be better connected to another server, for load balancing purposes (ClientReplacementRequest). Currently the delay is always the same, which can cause clients to flip flop between servers that the locator thinks are more or less loaded. Adding variability to the delay will help reduce the amount of coordinated hammering.
