[Devel] msg->id unique???

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Carsten,

have you restarted your proxy between the two requests with same IP?
the msg id is initialized in each process with a random value and 
incremented for each received message, so it will loop after ~4 billions 
messages :).

regards,
bogdan
