** MXRAND -- create a randomizer for equal MX preferences

** If two MX hosts have equal preferences we want to randomize

** computes a pseudo-random hash function from the host name.
**
** Parameters:
** host -- the name of the host.
**
** Returns:
** A random but repeatable value based on the host name.
