People whose IP address changes won't need to make new references each time their address changes. In theory, ARKs solve this problem by letting them insert information about their new contact information. (How the node gets this info, I don't know.) In the meanwhile, people with dynamic IPs need to either use something like dyndns.org so their reference stays up to date or they need to stay transient and not share their reference. I guess we should only export the reference if they're not transient. Thelema -- E-mail: thelema314 at bigfoot.com If you love something, set it free.
