correct. The interesting side effect, is that I can't see any negative

If the client retries a non-idempotent RPC, the server will do it
again, which can result in data corruption. This is likely to happen
infrequently, but with potentially nasty results. (The paper that
describes this was given at a late 1980s Usenix by Chet J. His name
is in a comment somewhere, I think. I won't dare to try and spell it.:-)
seems ok, I have been running it now on a semi production server and
it's holding up quiet nicely, the cache seems not up to expectations:

If you are referring to the high miss rate, that is normal and to be
expected. It's the 297 Non-idempotent hits that could have caused data
corruption without the cache. When there is a hit, the RPC reply comes
from the cache, so that the RPC isn't performed again on the server.
(Some/many of these are not harmful. For example, a retried Remove
simply fails with ENOENT, but others...)
Glad to hear that the experimental server is working ok for you, rick
