Oh, I see. That would work too.
As a client goes to send to a new address, it will auto-enable that
method. (Right? It needs to do that to talk to the config server
before it even sees fs.conf.) Ditto for a server listening on an
address. So the BMIModules listing isn't really required, as far as
I can tell.
Yeah, for simplicity, you can just filter out addresses. We should
get around to the performance fix someday too. I just happen to
think all these other issues that have arisen should not get in the
way of the failover feature.
