Ignore Server Priority on Handshake Failure?

Evening All,

Running SAB 2.3.1 over FreeNAS.
I have X number of Usenet servers.
I have them prioritized.
The app does not seem to "move on" to the next server if the highest priority server is not available.
I discovered none of my downloads were moving.
Checking the log, I found a handshake issue with the 1st server.
I moved that server down the priority list and all was well.

The Ask: Can I config SAB a la "Dood, the server you're reaching out to ain't playing nice ..move on!" ?

The reason for this is that in case your first server is unlimited and the rest are block accounts, we don't want to destroy the blocks if the unlimited account has a small problem.
You should be able to set a server as Optional (click Advanced on the Servers page) and the server will now be ignored in case of problems.
