Default interface for -bh and default port for -oMi + +I do not think it worth putting effort in here for these reasons: If a host has +multiple interfaces, there's no easy way to choose one to be the default for +$interface_address when -bh is used. If the host does not have multiple +interfaces, chances are the configuration won't be looking at +$interface_address anyway.

This stops *all* connections, both for TLS and otherwise. +Different retry times for different circumstances are needed to get round this. +What are the circumstances? TLS/not-TLS is clearly one, but sometimes you don't +know if you are going to try TLS until you have connected. So this makes sense +only if require_tls is used. Perhaps the multiple retry times should just be +per-transport, to avoid these difficulties. If we made all retry keys depend on +the transport, this would happen automatically. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +--- HWM 331 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- End of WishList ---------------------------------
