Each node has a key so that requests and inserts are routed to the node that has the key closest to the KSK, SVK or CHK, isn't it? The nodes shold keep the file that are closest to their key a little longer so that the key stay avaible for a littlew more where it is more likely it will be requested. It just enforce (enflate said Someone) the normal system based on reqests coun and age.
