Hydra Booster

A new type of DHT node designed to accelerate the Content Resolution & Content Providing on the IPFS Network. A (cute) Hydra with one belly full of records and many heads (Peer IDs) to tell other nodes about them, charged with rocket boosters to transport other nodes to their destination faster. Only run a hydra-booster on machines with public IP addresses. Having more DHT nodes behind NATs makes DHT queries in general slower, as connecting in generally takes longer and sometimes doesn't even work (resulting in a timeout). The total number of heads a single Hydra can have depends on the resources of the machine it's running on. To get the desired number of heads you may need to run multiple Hydras on multiple machines.
