DESERV provides the CONN_INTENT=HOLD parameter to cause
a held connection to the member.  I assume this is implicit with
BLDL.  I doubt that this is supported for sequential reading of
fake directory blocks.  So while the TTRs are instantaneously usable, 
I suspect that any change such as replacing a member will make
at least its TTR unusable.
