I happened to notice that PQreset is documented thus:

    This function will close the connection to the server and attempt to
    reestablish a new connection to the same server, using all the same
    parameters previously used.

Since we invented multi-host connection parameters, a reasonable person
would assume that "to the same server" means we promise to reconnect to
the same host we selected the first time.  There is no such guarantee
though; the new connection attempt is done just like the first one,
so it will select the first suitable server in the list.

I think we should just drop that phrase.  Alternatively we could decide
that the code's behavior is buggy, but I don't think it is.  If, say,
the reason you need to reset is that your existing host died, you don't
really want libpq to refuse to select an alternative server.
