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 ;)

RM> Hi All!

RM> I am experimenting with othernets, and have a strange thing

RM> I have 2 addresses 1 FIDO, 1 othernet.
RM> I want binkd to use binkp.net for unknown fido addresses.
RM> For the othernet only the nodes defined in the config should be used.

RM> My config looks like this:
RM> root-domain not configured.
RM> fido domain has root-domain binkp.net
RM> othernet has no root-domain

RM> domain fidonet /home/fido/outbound 2 binkp.net
RM> domain fido alias-for fidonet
RM> domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
RM> domain othernet /home/fido/outbound 2

RM> address 2:310/31@fidonet
RM> address 666:1/2@othernet

RM> #root-domain binkp.net
RM> #defnode *

RM> If defnode * is commented out it works, but does not dial unknown fido
RM> nodes that have an entry in binkp dns. If I enable defnode * it adds a
RM> second othernet AKA to all the nodes it tries to dial:

RM>   -h 2:310/31.1@fidonet
RM>   -d 2:12/340@fidonet
RM>   -h 2:310/31.1@othernet <-- should not be here
RM>   -d 2:12/34@othernet <-- should not be here

RM> Is that a config error on my side?

RM> I thought if root-domain is only configured for one domain, it should
RM> only be used in that domain. To me it looks like it also does 2. DNS
RM> lookups for the nodenumber, and adds the same node also with domain
RM> @othernet.

RM> Is there a way to configure binkd to a) only add @othernet AKAs to
RM> nodes that are configured for @ithernet b) lookup unknown fido nodes
RM> in binkp.net and dial them (not for othernet)

RM> I use HPT as a tosser and have used the domainless tosser config from
RM> the FAQ.
