After reading this, I still have a question. Once you have configured a relay node, would that mean that all the traffic would go through this node (as a proxy) or would that be a fallback if no better route is found ?

Also, would protocol labs provide public relay enabled node ? @lgierth ?

For initial (experimental) deployment, it's manual -- you have to manually open connections to peers using a relay.
