That's all well and good... But Fred can't just keep the IP addresses, because then dyndns etc for dynamic IP's wouldn't work.
The DNS system needs to be totally bypassed. Isn't this ARK thing something to do with that? It would also be useful for people with static IP's to be using their IP NOT their hostname - perhaps a warning/note should be in the config to recommend people do this. message: If fred just keeps the IP address for each host in the routing table it will only need to do the DNS lookup once. (It might do this already). And if you pass along the IP even that lookup is avoided. I believe you can just ignore the DNS timeout because Freenet keeps an identity key to verify that a host matches the host expected at that IP. If a connection fails or the wrong host responds, then refresh the DNS lookup. -Wayne Powered by CBFMail http://www.cbfmail.com _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
