This is not an option... I estimated using Netcraft's SearchDNS and
the regexs that Berkeley uses for their library proxy that this would
be an exit policy *on the order of* 10,000 entries long.

As Roger has made clear elsewhere, the current directory protocol
won't scale well with exit policies of this length (or really in
general) and it would be better for the network for these nodes to
operate a middleman node instead.  This is why a few of us on dorky
academic networks are trying to find other solutions. best, Joe
