Hi,

Using a network logger, I noticed that some IPs are very active on the Wormux 
index server port (9997). Using tcpdump to sniff the traffic, I saw a lot of 
short connections from the same IP. Example:

An IP opened ~55,000 packets on ~30 minutes. It sends 4 bytes (the number 1 in 
32 bits) and the server answers with 4 bytes (number 8, in 32 bits). Then the 
server closes the connections. But just after that (0.1 to 0.5 seconds 
later), a new connection from the same IP: same dialog...

I think that it's an old version of Wormux trying always the reconnect to the 
index server.

Questions:
- Why does the client reconnect after a failure?
- Why does the server continue to answer to the same computer?

Please Cc-me your answer, I'm not subscribed to Python mailing list.
