Since some of you are attempting to do some kind of 'stuff' to deal with "traffic issues", I would be very interested in hearing from you what exactly these "issues" are and what exactly you mean/need regarding this. Certainly, there must be a "right" way of dealing with whatever it is.

I’ve done a bit of AWK’ing in the past to parse out stats from the log of who connected when and how many times, but I’ve slept since then and will have to learn it all over again J I guess that this will need to run regularly (cron?) in order to prevent a newly downloaded node list from unblocking the user. I’ll look further at that. Thanks From: Bryan D.

Is there a method of blocking specific AllStar nodes from connecting? I know we’re all friends here and wouldn’t dream of being unpleasant to each other, but there are occasions when it may be necessary to temporarily stop another node from linking. How would this be achieved?
