Re: [VANILLA-L] Failure to verify



I have seen this happen before with my cow client at continuum. It
usually happens when the metaserver has been down for awhile. It is
like the keys expire(?). 

When I restart everything if the metaserver is down then no one can
get online. I think it is because I cannot get a refresh on my keys.
If the meta is up things work fine.

Make sense?

Do keys expire and updated re-fetches them?
