#7663: Yahoo Messenger not connecting, Error - Error resolving scs.msg.yahoo.com

 could not establish a connection with the server:
 Error resolving scs.msg.yahoo.com
 Name or service not known

 See comments on web page:

 could-not.html

 Apparently multiple Yahoo Message servers:
 cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com
 cs117.msg.mud.yahoo.com

 etc.

 Need an option to add multiple Yahoo Servers, and choose the "best" one.
 I.E.  If there is a connection error, try going to the next one.

 For me, sometimes it was taking over an hour to connect, other times no
 connection.

 Seems to work with:  66.163.181.166
