I agree with your proposals, but... what is 'the correct peer'? Take the
LINKFAIL list as an example: there are two peers, one at each side of FRMOP22
CEARN <---- (FRMOP22) ----> EB0UB011
|
(other french nodes)
Now, a node accessed via FRMOP22 is as far from CEARN as from EB0UB011, i.e,
when adding a subscriptor from, say, FRHEC11, LISTSERV will add him/her at
CEARN or EB0UB011 depending on the original SUBSCRIBE/ADD request (EXPLODE
will not complain, too, and keeping french people at CEARN or EB0UB011 is a
matter of taste and of load distribution). Now someone tries to DELETE user
ZZZ@node 'at' the DEARN peer; the DEARN peer finds that ZZZ@node is not in its
list, and forwards the request... where?
Note that this is just an example, there could be more than two 'optimal'
peers.
Jose Maria
