-> Hello mark!

->  Today there were 154 that did not returned host unknown. Of those 131
->  did not return an IP address for 142 consecutive days.

->  I do not know how the NC's of those nodes determin if this are active
systems,
->  but it is certainly not by regular connects.

->  This can be extended to RC's and ZC's as among the above groups are
->  nethosts and region hosts.

    Not to be stepping on the toes of my NC, or my RC, but the policy4
does mention not wearing too many hats.  If a NC is a RC, then it can be
time consuming to check on each and ever node in his segment as well as
checking on things in his region...  Possibly a reason why at least some
RC's and ZC's don't do their job and mark nodes as being down...
