Personally, I would prefer if we had a general strategy of fighting bad references that worked well enough that we didn't need to worry about special casing those addresses that are "obviously wrong" given TCP and DNS on the general Internet. However, I guess the real question is, how many times to we attempt to contact these bad references before throwing them out? If it is large, then a lot of time and effort is being wasted. It also might be helpful if the announcement is failed because of this, and the nodes user is warned that it did somehow. -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
