Just out of interest, why isn't this done at the DNS level?  It
seems appropriate to have multiple IP addresses associated with
"volunteergrid-introducer.allmydata.org" and you'd gain the advantage
that the list of introducers can be varied more easily.  This doesn't
seem to introduce any additional attacks as the multiple-hosts-per-url
version you have also trusts the DNS system.
