Me too.

I saw no big problems but IMO two questions
 need to be answerd before.

1) how many time a live-router will be
 coninuosly online (mean value)
I noticed that when putting a new router online,
 the maximum load is reached after 3-4 days
This can be a problem if the live-router
 is shutted down more often.
Is this long time an explicit feature
 of router algoritms ? If this
 is the case, can this time be shortened?

2) The router seems to perform better
 when registered on dirservers..
If this is true, and not only my
 sensation, this can be solved being
 a live-router a "short-lived" one ?

Ciao.   Marco
