I agree with your idea. I heavily believe that the network would become more reliable if the network became "hungry" for information that it can not find and consantly tries to find it. There are 2 problems I see with taking this concept too far ATM:
1) I dont know how to code in java that well ;) 2) Possibly this could lead to DOS attacks in the network as someone could make the network "hungry" for stuff that does not exist and cause it to consume huge ammounts of resources trying to find data that does not exist. In the mean time my patch does a decent job of atleast getting you the HTML for a site if it errors for you on the first time you try to retrieve it.
