Raphael, 

Very good idea!

Sometime ago, I suggested several changes to mojito implementation
(including putting several other flags in the FIND_NODE calls) so that
e.g., searches go faster (may consume more bandwidth) than publishes
since users may be waiting, separating FIND_NODE calls for routing
table maintenance and searches/publishes (already implemented in Kad
DHT), caching replica sets so that republishes consume less
bandwidth... Now you have more good suggestions... This is one of the
reason I want to rethink the design, list the requirements and
features people want... Of course we cannot foresee everything, but it
will be very helpful. And it is a good timing to you too, since you
are implementing the DHT. :-)


Best,
