[Dxspider-support] TOP 20 nodes sending unverified spots in last 24 hours

[Ciemon Dunville]

Hey Mike,

Thanks for taking the time, it's a really useful explanation. And of course
both cluster devs think their position is the right one and won't look at
alternative solutions.

I guess from a sysop's point of view the only solution is to cut off the
node that's delivering the bad spots. This adds strength to the argument
that 4 to 6 node connections is enough to maintain connectivity and also
manage through log watching. Again, helpful.

73, Ciemon
