There is a SRV record: _binkp._tcp.ddutch.nl. IN SRV 0 0 24554 fido.ddutch.nl
host -t SRV _binkp._tcp.ddutch.nl should return _binkp._tcp.ddutch.nl has SRV record 0 0 24554 fido.ddutch.nl
Apparenly binkd does not jet support this DNS feature. I don't know if there is any fido software that does. It is for services what the MX is for mail.
Programs like nodelist2dns.pl create such records, that inspired me to make such a record in my own DNS domain. but there is e.g no _binkp._tcp.f5003.n280.z2.binkp.net. SRV 0 0 fido.ddutch.nl.
But if Binkd does not support SRV lookup, I can imagine they do not bother.
