Subject: More DRb; SSL & DRB & errors

This is one of those things where if I work through it long enough, I should 
find the answer for myself, but hopefully someone else has been there already 
and can jump me right to the end, here.

I was looking through Eric Hodel's article on DRB with SSL, and in it he 
commends that if a DRb service gets an SSLError, it will exit.

That strikes me as a vulnerability.  If I am running a DRb service over SSL, 
it's for security reasons.  It seems suboptimal that a piece of bad traffic 
could cause it to close.  Seems like it should not be THAT hard to capture 
this exceptional condition and deal with it in some way that keeps everything 
running and handling other traffic.

Eric, anyone?  Can you point me towards the right bit to look at in order to 
handle this?


Thanks,

Kirk Haines
