This is possible. For example, if there is some supernode out there with great bandwidth and tons of disk space, it might simply store everything and everyone would route straight to it for every key. In that case there would be no specialization at all. theo -- Theodore Hong Dept. of Computing, Imperial College London [EMAIL PROTECTED] 180 Queen's Gate, London SW7 2BZ PGP key: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~twh1/ _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
