.... and it is misleading. This is what FTS-5001 defines:
| Internet Protocol flags use the syntax:
|
| <flag>[:<server address>][:<port>]
According to the nodelist comments a non-standard port is defined like
INA:123.45.67.89,IBN:24556
(only "IP-addres" (sic) are mentioned)
FTS-5001 also allows
IBN:example.com:24556
What a mess...
