I was just suggesting a single entry that would remap fidonet.net to
binkp.net's IP as opposed to hex-editing the hard-coded string. Sorry I can't
test to sanity-check...don't have any downlinks that require Irex's features
currently, and didn't use this particular one when I did. I would expect
resolution to be handled remotely, if you can just reach the right resolver.<g>
