[Wayne Walker]

The relaydelay stuff comes with this list:

# Here's an example command to use in a mysql shell to insert 
#   a whitelist entry (assumes defaults from dbdef.sql):
# INSERT INTO relaytofrom (relay_ip, record_expires, create_time) 
#   VALUES ('127.0.0.1', '9999-12-31 23:59:59', NOW());

127.0.0.1       # Of course we don't want to delay ourselves or local
users
192.168         # Don't delay our private networks either
10              # Private net (class A)
172.16.0        # Another private net (inidividual entries, since can't
172.16.1        #   do a /12 netmask easily
