Each entry in the datastore contains the identity of another node. What 'reversing the datastore vector' probably means in this context is to switch the way this pointer points from its current way when the node finds out about a piece of data. I'm not completely sure about how it points at the present. Another thing that could be done is to make two way node pointers (even though in certain circumstances only one would actually be used) instead of the current one node pointer. Having two node pointers (one representing the node that the data came from and the other representing the node that the data went to (only if this node was being passed through by a request or insert by another machine)). -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
