There are only a few ip/mask pairs for *.dip.t-dialin.net. Those cut
eigther be entered by hand or searched for by doing a dns lookup every
now and then and querying the ownership of the ip.

Yes I know and most connects fail completly and just fill up the
source list. Uses up my bandwith and the poor guys that happens to get
the IP next bandwith.

Is there any mechanism in mldonkey so far that removes non functional
IPs apart from source age? I've seen some scoring mechanism for
servers but nothing for clients.
