Seems clunky and could get dicey -- subscriptions that transient/dynamic may not be well-tested and you'd probably want to guarantee that sending such a dummy message actually does not result in any side-effects at the Bro-layer. If nodes start raising random events at unusual/unintended times I start to doubt the stability of things. - Jon _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
