Subj : Othernet domains

Hi All
Sorry for my repost, but does anybody has any idea?
If I enable defnode * while having an othernet active, I get polls to the fido
nodenumbers with domain othernet as well.
I have only added root-domain to fido, so binkd should not try to look up
othernet nodes via DNS.
Any ideas to solve this are welcome.
I will report back here after I tried the suggested solutions ;)
CU, Ricsi
