Yes.

All lurker urls are deterministic even on different hosts which happen to
have the same message.=20

The only exceptions are:
-	if a message's timestamp changes due to an improperly configured=20
	timezone on the importing server.
-	if you upgrade from 0.1g to >0.5
-	if there is a bug in one of the two lurker versions
