I did the same thing ....

we had CLX running at ON0NOL-9 and wanted to test spider during
the CQWW "node stress test" contest :-)
I installed spider on the same machine as CLX and linked them as active
nodes

next step was to connect to the remote nodes from spider and
disconnecting them
from CLX (to avoid loops)
the spots would still go to clx because of the node link

spider uses much less resources than clx (one of the reasons we changed)

ON0NOL-9 is still running on a Pentium 133
CLX was crashing several times in the CQWW due to lack of resources and
was very slow - spots would arrive at the connected clients more than 1
hour after
receiving them from remote nodes (clx could not follow
spider just sits back and enjoy's a cup of cofee while watching CQWW ...
