/**
 * LoadBalancingPolicy implementation that always favor the first available target i.e.
 * no load balancing occurs. Nevertheless, the first target is randomly selected.
 * This does not mean that fail-over will not occur if the
 * first member in the list dies. In this case, fail-over will occur, and a new target
 * will become the first member and invocation will continously be invoked on the same
 * new target until its death. Each proxy using this policy will *not* elect its own
 * prefered target: the target *is* shared with all proxies that belong to the same family 
 * (for a different behaviour please take a look at FirstAvailable)
