I left the hot-adding idea behind. I'm working (almost finished now) on a 
Distributed DHCP algorithm (based on Prime-DHCP) for address allocation of ad 
hoc nodes. I'm testing my algorithm on OLSR. I wanted to load the olsr (or 
other routing protocol) elements when I got an address of my DDHCP, but it 
would become difficult if a duplicate (always possible) would be recognized 
(again reloading?). I made it a lot easier (and easier to test): I created a 
filter element. This element blocks all packets incoming or outgoing from 
non-DDHCP elements. Ad hoc routing is smart enough to update their tables 
when the filter is opened. It think this makes it easier for other users to 
use my algorithm (no hot-adding of routing elements needed).

PS: please send to this address. I changed my ISP. It took Scarlet (old-ISP) a 
month to replace a small element in the centrale, so I went to an other 
provider.
