You can treat it the same as the node returning DNF (which nodes to which you route can do anyway), there will still be more of a bias to routing that area of the keyspace to the node that actually specialises in it than to other nodes.
Malicious nodes trying to get into everybodies routing table could then pretend to never already have seen messages and try to route them on, but that 'attack' is already possible, anybody can proxy all incoming requests to new requests with a higher HTL in an effort to return data in a specific key area (within the bounds of time limits ofcourse) -- Frank v Waveren Fingerprint: 21A7 C7F3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]|stack.nl|dse.nl] ICQ#10074100 1FF3 47FF 545C CB53 Public key: hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7BD9 09C0 3AC1 6DF2 _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
