Details:

Hi

It looks like my provider resolves some domain names (like
tracker.thepiratebay.org, thetracker.org) to 127.0.0.1. 

It makes mldonkey try to announce to the localhost itself. In case (like
mine), if a web server is also on the same host, it generates unnecessary load
on the server and spams webserver logs.

1. :'s aren't allowed in node names. if we ever want to do this (and we do),
we're going to have come up with some kind of escape syntax to avoid breaking
every parser.

2. as long as there's an error when "node:" doesn't exist, that's fine, that's
all i was thinking about.

closing, thanks.

I don't think that it is an error.  Well, it depends if a : is allowed in a
node name or not.  If allowed this is not an error in my opinion.  Still the
node will, in most case, not exist and so the 
   name: node: 
should lead to an unknown node in menu error.
