Hello Tommi,

Ah, you run an netmail tracker that bounce inlisted nodes...

Once in net 500 when it still existed we had a discusion about this. My then
host and former ZC2 Henk Wevers held the position that boucing mail for
unlisted nodes should only be done by the host of the receiving node. The host
of the receiver should know if the node exist but is (not yet) listed in the
global nodelist, and if it exist, he should know what to do with it.

Mind you, this was in the age that there often were several weeks of delay
between zones when distributing the nodelist...



 TK> What exactly are you testing now?

o Running two nodes on one and the same physical hardware.

o Running an IPv6 only node.

o Running a unlisted node. :)



Cheers, Michiel
