Can someone code them into variables and then select one randomly ?

xchat server is randomly selected exactly from that list of servers. Initially that list was hardcoded in the script, then some of servers were removed because of complains, so currently, the list in the script is a bit shorter in comparison to the list from configproxy.php, but I'm absolutely sure it has no "broken" servers.
Based on my observation, I'll say that Timeout Error can be thrown for any server from the list, but it does not mean the server is broken, it might work fine in a next couple minutes.
May be this happens because we "abuse" servers with our scripts.
So far, the best way to deal with this will be if we select some server randomly as start and use it until it fails, then randomly select another one, instead of randomly selecting the server on each iteration.
