Seems that when a node changes it's physical identity its peers do not
learn of this new identity.
For example, I have a running freenet node that everyone knows based
on my IP. I realize this IP might change at some point in the
future, and I don't want to need to expend the effort to go contact
all my neighbors again ... So I got get a dyndns name. I set my
ipoverride to this name, and I see in my new reference that my client
now considers its physical address to be the dyndns address. I would
now expect that all the peers I connect to would learn of this address
and would adjust their records accordingly. But they don't.
Is this just unimplimented or is there a security implication I'm missing?
I think its simply not implemented, and I think ARKs will be implemented
instead which should solve the problem and more thoroughly. (I think,
someone correct me if Im wrong, its basically peer-detail rediscovery
over freenet, so one connection will be enough to learn the new ips of
your peers.)
