I might be missing the point, but I don't think Bruce is talking about the enrollment server here at all.
The question rather is what the purpose of a bootstrap server that isn't also a peer. If a bootstrap server is just essentially a persistent bootstrap peer, then I think RELOAD already has this. The question is -- do you have an interest in a server that is the bootstrap server but *isn't* a peer, and if so, why? If not, isn't a bootstrap server really just a bootstrap peer that happens to be up all the time?
