From spray/spray#746:
> The easiest strategy would be to try all the available addresses in a round-robin fashion on failed connection attempts and probably make the strategy configurable.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the HTTP client's connection-failure handling and how it selects a host's available IP addresses. Use the linked spray/spray#746 discussion for the intended round-robin and configurability requirements; done means failed connections try alternate addresses according to a configurable strategy.
