So all these Helo Forged entries I'm getting in the logs are technically 
incorrect (with 1.2.6).  I haven't looked since I've upgraded to 1.3.  
They aren't announcing themselves as anything I have in my 
"myServerRe".  They may be invalid but they weren't forged...

I'll keep an eye on it with 1.3 and see if it has changed, got fixed, or 
whatever.
