What kind of simulation do you have in mind exactly? Is it only the 
network topography or do you want to simulate information propagation 
and indexing issues, too? I like the idea of having a tool for network 
topography because the project is very interesting from the research 
point of view. In addition, this tool would not only be limited to 
Gnugle but could be of greater use.

I hope I will be able to do a bit more the next days, but the last three 
days, I was "disabled" by a nerving cold and sniffles.
