This is just to facilitate load-testing. The recommendation, as before, stands: use a real load-balancer in prod.

My preference is to just rip the band-aid off, make the change to using a list, and have one correct way going forward. Post-diablo it will be much harder, I think, to deprecate glance_host and glance_port.
