That would be in ast_get_srv() then?  In 1.4.17 I do see weight
processing but not priority processing.  I'd just go look at the code
for 1.6.1 at svn.digium.com but that server does not not seem to be
responding.  Reachable but HTTP requests seem to not be completing.

Strangely enough, I think priority processing is more important than
weight processing.  If I were only going to implement one or the other I
would have chosen priority I think.

Indeed.  This seemed to be my observation when I took a quick peek at
1.6.1 yesterday.

Indeed.  That never ending to-do list.  :-/
