Hi,

When two systems with the same name and key pair try to connect to a
tinc mesh, the whole mesh is dossed.

Situation: a vps is migrated to an other hoster. Access has been
disabled, vps is powered on. Then suddenly after a couple of weeks the
vps is powerd on again causing two vps'es trying to connect with the
same credentials.
I think the result should be that neither of those two nodes should be
accessible but the result is that the whole mesh is not reachable.
