We're sliding off the topic. The question was, why it happens, not how important it is. I'm only looking at it from a technical perspective and try to understand, why our plan did worked out for only 80-90% of the connecting systems.
Having a nodelist and still having to enter INA informations somwhere is like having a DNS and entering IP addresses in a hosts file manually. That does not sound right to me.
