There are currently two ip addresses hardcoded in namecoin, to bootstrap in case IRC is not available (once contacted, you get a full list of nodes).

The -dnsseed parameter (which will become the replacement of the irc bootstraping) is currently unused. It works by associating several ip addresses to hostnames. Several hostnames and several addresses per hostname are required to allow a strong network.

So, i'm launching :
* nameseed.dot-bit.org
- 178.32.31.41

If you have a persistent node, that will stay alive for a long time, you can add your ip and i will add it to my hostname.
nameseed.dot-bit.org will then need to be added in the namecoin source code.


Was it that you mean by "fallback nodes" ?

In the interests of transparency we should probably post somewhere who those IP's belong to that are hard-coded into namecoin.

Edit: Where can I find those IP's in the code? thnx.

One of them is mine. I volunteered to be the first seed node since I run namecoind on a 24x7 server. It should be 69.164.206.88. You can see them in namecoin.cpp, line 1643:

unsigned int pnSeed[] = { 0x58cea445, 0x2b562f4e, NULL };

And 0x2b562f4e (78.47.86.43) is mine.
