Here's what to test: - Hold "old ref" while new associated node on same host:port is associated - so the ref refers to some UniqueNode with ID 1111 (example) - but that node is dead now and another node on the same host:port has replaced it; it has some other ID, like 2222 (example) Assertions: - sending messages to that actor ref must yield dead leters -- we know that _specific_ node it was pointing to is dead - sending messages to that actor ref must not result in receipts on the new node.
