TL> Shouldn't be if binkd is properly configured.
it is questionable, though... i forget which version of binkd brought in the ability to list the lookup domain on the DOMAIN lines but all the binkd versions previous to that used the root-domain line... i expect that there are still some systems out there using OS supplied installations of binkd which are old v0.9 versions...
TL> I bet there's no binkp.net lookups from me for anything other than TL> Fidonet.
ideally there should not be any since the nodelist is supposed to carry all the necessary information to connect to a system...
TL> And one could do domain lookups for othernets, just have to configure TL> the DNS service. I started work on one for vkradio.com (most likely TL> will use bbs.vkradio.com), but haven't got around to putting it all TL> together.
i've wondered if the binkp.net scripts and methods are documented and available for others to be able to look over and possibly use as a base to build their own...
