The "official" way of finding out the best peers for a list is to do an 'EXPLODE listname (BEST n', where 'n' is the total number of peers you are prepared to have (not the number of extra peers that you want). LISTSERV will then suggest a list of nodeids, and if you don't like some of them you can repeat the process, adding a 'WITHOUT(node1 node2...)' option, until you are happy. Obviously this cannot be 100% satisfactory if 'listname' is already peered and LISTSERV therefore has only a small subset of the total amount of recipients in the LIST file. Eric
