I can see why this would seem natural, but since the nodeAddress is not the actual address to the node it is not a good idea. Perhaps I should have named the field better. If you want a field in .freenetrc that tells clients to look for a node somewhere other than localhost, that field must be seperate from the current interpretation of nodeAddress. -- 'DeCSS would be fine.
