I was just thinking about this; would it be possible to have something
that when you seed your node, it tries just to contact all the different
nodes in the seedfile and if it can't contact any of them, it gives
(with flashing bells and whistles) an error message saying that you need
new/better/more seeds. This way people would have immediate responses
from trying to seed their node instead of just vague routeNotFound
errors.
