[OpenDHT-Users] OpenDHT storage question

Hi, I've been working with the HIP protocol and have worked out some
extensions to store some HIP information (basically the hash of a public
key and an address) into OpenDHT. This enables one type of resolution
service for HIP...

My question is, if I am storing several DHT records using a key that
looks like a fixed 28-bit prefix concatenated with 100-bits of random
number, will the fixed prefix cause records to be stored on the same
server?

(The prefix will always be the same, coming from RFC 4843; key = 128-bit
HIT = (PREFIX | HASH) where "|" indicates concatenation)

Apologies for my lack of understanding of the Bamboo DHT software, and
if this is covered by a publication or on this mailing list :)

thanks,
-Jeff
