Yep, I just ran 2 nodes with 10 bogus addresses in my nodes.config. I inserted to one of the nodes and it tried 6 of the bogus addresses and by the time it got to the other node running, htl was down to 3. Before I tried this, I thought it didn't decrement htl for connect failures... _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
