Readvertisements are only sent after new connections are made/received... 
sending them at any other time wouldnt be
practical since the immediately adjacent server would simply
trash them as duplicates anyway. I suppose I could add logic
to recrawl though the list every couple of days, but it is
likely to simply increase bandwidth without much benefit.

One problem I have is that the new server will probably
get lost of duplicate adverts during when its connected
to by other servers, since the servers send the most
recent ads are sent by all concerned, and they're probably
all going to be the same. So how do we make this more efficient?
