sure, you are right, but at this global overload, the nodes certainly don't 
forward the requests they do not satisfy by their data store.

i saw only zero to five requests before "route not found".

there was not one single "data not found", which signals the exhausted HTL.

some freesites opened after several tries but i never saw more than 5 of 10 
"nearest" nodes tried, yesterday, with build 468.
