The DHT bootstrap records need refreshing from time to time. Only servers have the expectation of staying online. Therefore, servers should do this refresh.

That means that there is an explicit necessity to "sign up" for particular servers, not just use them willy nilly.

Refresh is once per hour. Refresh can be skipped if 8 or more copies of the data are still there.
