[OpenAFS-devel] 50 second fetch-data?

This happens today.

The query happens. I don't know if the answer is OK.
After looking at my capture file I doubt it. And if
the query answer is empty as I suspect, the logic
below will not kick in.

I think this should happen but does not happen i my case.

This is not the case, so this makes no diff for me but is useful for
other dynamic DHCP situations.

>    - If no response, remove Y from host entry [this would be new]

Yes, this is needed.

If UUID(X) == UUID(Y) and X newer than Y (just add it at the beginning
of the list) talk first to X and then to Y again. If Y times out (in
background) it will be removed and next time when I change from X to
Y, Y is added in front och X times out in background.
