> Does this sound like a nifty feature?? It does, and it's been proposed before. I think I was the 1009th person to suggest it, making you the 1010th unless I've missed somebody. ;-)
Unfortunately the problem is that requests are routed towards the node that's expected to hold the requested file, and your node can't control which files the network will expect it to have. The network probably won't expect your node to hold the requested file, so the requests will diverted towards other nodes. If you gave every request such a high HTL that it passed through *every* node, requests for your site would reach your node eventually. But there would be so many requests travelling across the network at any one time that all the links would be saturated, there would be no bandwidth left for data, and the network would fall apart (look at early versions of Gnutella, which used a broadcast scheme for forwarding requests). So Freenet doesn't allow HTL values above 100.
