(RADIATOR) Authby ROUNDROBIN not using new hosts when sending HUP

[Hugh Irvine]

Hi Frank -

Please see my other mail on this topic.

Basically we would like you to test this with Radiator 3.0, and in the 
meantime just kill and restart Radiator so it recreates everything from 
scratch.

thanks

Hugh
