Re: [freenet-dev] Re: Java DNS caching problems

[Josh Steiner]

i concur strongely, a very large part of the freenet userbase is going 
to be semi technical users who are using high bandwidth connections like 
dsl, and hence are natted.  probably not a good idea to cut this 
population out of the freenet node pool.

It would help in a few corner cases... but you'd still need to set up a

But even clients need to configure port forwarding in order to
reliably receive replies.
We should _not_ make a large number of users--those with NATed
nodes on DSL/cable connections--have to configure complicated DNS
services. Because they probably won't do it right, if they do it at
all.
This is an important bugfix. If anything should be added to 0.5.1,
this is it. There's no point I can see in delaying.
