Yes. Always a good idea to have different host names for different services. Then you have the option to split the services over different machines without having to change host names if the need arises. Most DNS providers have no limit on the number of subdomains.

It is just vanity, it serves no technical purpose. But it is quit popular among the Fidonet IPv6 sysops. Over a third of them have such a vanity address.

You can always discuss it with the author. ;-)

So you can configure it to pass ICMP6 Ping so that your binkp server address becomes pingable...
