Just a thought: When a node changes its IP address it publishes a new ARK, ja? If we had a "graceful shutdown" mode, the node could publish an ARK saying, "I won't be here anymore. Don't bother knocking." Once it's published, and maybe also when in-progress requests are done, the node shuts down. On the other side, when a node can't be reached we immediately fire off a request for its ARK. When the ARK comes back we'll know whether to keep trying for the next several hours or just give up. Save a bit of traffic.
