[arm-allstar] Node registration failures

[Doug Crompton]

David,

 Yes, the Allstar status server is also very flaky.  We are also
implementing our own status server which is in beta and should be online
very soon. I might point out however as I have before that the status
server does NOT effect the ability to connect and use Allstar. It is a
convenience and nice to have but your node(s) will work fine without it.
Hang in there, things will get better!
