Ok, that all makes sense. I missed the part about chooing which host to ask questions about based upon lexicographical closeness to the keys it has returned before.
Do hosts transmit routing tables to each other periodically? Obviously you wouldn't want to trust a routing table you have been sent - but you could at least harvest new node addreses from it. I don't think the 'time until your routing table is sensible' is actually my problem though - my whole routing table keeps getting eaten. I'm rolling back to build 527. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
