Really nice animations, I especially liked the demonstration of the effect that after some servers will "explode", any server that will be restarted will automatically be DoS'ed until we'll throw a bunch of extra temporary servers into the system. Thanks.

Yeah! An insidious problem that’s not obvious when you’re picking a retry interval.

I had fun with the details of the explosion animation. When it explodes, the number of requests that come out is the actual number of in-progress requests.
