// A Go package to intelligently and flexibly pool among multiple hosts from your Go application.
// Host selection can operate in round robin or epsilon greedy mode, and unresponsive hosts are
// avoided. A good overview of Epsilon Greedy is here http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=132

// call Mark with any error encountered, which will inform the HostPool issuing
// the HostPoolResponse of what happened to the request and allow it to update.
