Thanks Rick. I agree.
After a bit of pondering I think I actually like the single --glance_api_servers flag better anyway.
Regarding some of the other comments I would say that nothing you've done here prevents anyone from using a load balancer. Using a load balancer is certainly a good option. However the Glance image service is unique in that it is bandwidth intensive and providing a simple random choice option within nova seems reasonable to me. Sounds like a practical approach to me.

Good work!
