You can still use the caches as a fallback in my approach. But you only use them, when they are needed. There is nothing wrong with using the data source node, as long as it is not overloaded or physically farer away then the cache.

How do you keep spammers or flooders from using "hint" messages to make their data popular? I don't see, how redirects would impact anonymity. The caching nodes return the data source anyways. -- Thomas Leske _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
