f7.n105.z1.fidonet is not a valid host name. You can verify that with any DNS lookup tool:
$ host f7.n105.z1.fidonet
Host f7.n105.z1.fidonet not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I think you have your zone 1 configured for the wrong DNSSuffix in echocfg, that should be 'binkp.net', not 'fidonet':
$ host f7.n105.z1.binkp.net
f7.n105.z1.binkp.net is an alias for digdist.synchro.net.
digdist.synchro.net has address 50.46.162.90
digdist.synchro.net mail is handled by 0 mail.synchro.net.
