[Cluster-tech] PC92 A

[Lee Sawkins]

At times my cluster has over 700 local users.  Sending PC92A packets
with IPs is going to cause a lot more backbone traffic.  From my point
of view, the only IPs I want to see are those for users who are actually
sending out DX spots.  The majority of users rarely, if ever send out
spots.

Some of my users are using dialup connections.  Every time they dial in,
they get a different IP address.  Sometimes their dialup connection
drops, they dial back in, get a different IP and reconnect.  The cluster
did not know they had left, but allows the reconnect and does not send
out a PC92 for this user.  What you are proposing now would require
these types of reconnects to update their IP info by an immediate PC92,
showing a disconnect, then a reconnect, thus causing additional backbone
traffic.
