I'd rather that users who want to stop being a server _not_ kill all ORCONNs immediately: doing so kills all the active connections for every user who's touching that server. Instead, I'd prefer that all circuits through that server die naturally as clients time them out over the next 10-30 minutes, and that the server stop accepting new circuits. Does not that work in practice? If it doesn't work (because circuits stay open indefinitely), I think the answer is to give existing circuits 5-10 minutes or so finish up. yrs, -- Nick Mathewson
