Adding something like IWANT to innd?

When adding a new peer, it's possible they will have groups that none
of your other peers have. I've been trying to think how I can get the
old articles with minimal bother to the peer admin.

What about adding IWANT ?

Something like IWANT [GROUP [<from> <to>]|[last xx articles]]

The peer then can simply mark the server as IWANT friendly with maybe
an optional throttle so they're not sucking up all the bandwidth.


Good idea? bad idea? improvements?
