Thanks I will re-test same.

If we fail due to authentication, then I think we should notify the client instead of trying next host. I think it is expected genuine user have right credentials for making the connection. So it's better if we notify same to client immediately rather than silently ignoring them. Otherwise the host node which the client failed to connect will be permanently unavailable until client corrects itself. But I agree documentation and error message as you said need improvements. I will try to correct same.
