But unless you return the same host for 50 objects, I'm going to have to do a bunch of DNS lookups too, right? And a bunch of SSL setups.
Hopefully you at least make sure to try and return a single host for all the objects in a request.

Now it's hard to say how many Peers we need to meet this requirement. It looks like 2-3 Peers are enough. Also, when you have 50 Peers, you have to do 50 DNS/SSL requests in _parallel_. With current hardware, it's not a big deal.
