The recent discussions concerning path-optimization have been a bit
disturbing since I feel such attempts at optimization could
result in some very nasty problems due to duplication in the node
name space. Builders and users of path-optimizers should be aware
that no optimization of any path which is on the "FAR" side of
the node pair "!decwrl!rhea" should be attempted. Any node
reached via that node pair is part of the Digital Enet. This
would, of course, not be so much of a concern if it were'nt for
the fact that there are a number of node names on the DEC-Enet
which are duplicates of those on the USENET. The following is a
list of such duplicates compiled by Mark Hornton:
apollo cadvax caesar comet decwrl deimos
dice druid duke eagle elsie felix
gamma gummo harpo ist mordor moria
opus orc orion parsec rabbit rocky2
solar spanky taurus turing varian vaxine
vortex zeppo zeus
Please be careful when doing path optimizations! If nothing else,
be wary of any path which includes the "!decwrl!rhea" node pair!!
