    ml>> yes but then you cannot be in two FTNs that used the same zone and   
    ml>> there are several of those out there...   
      
    TL> Well that's the problem 5D is supposed to solve, but not all   
    TL> implementations can do that yet.  For example, SBBSecho uses a   
    TL> domain to zone mapping that appears to be 1-1, which I'm not sure   
    TL> could handle 2 domains with the same zone.   
      
   exactly... unless you use the format i linked to earlier (link quoted below)...   
      
    ml>>>> if your tosser uses the other form of 5D BSO, then the paths can be   
    ml>>>> like you have them but the zones all have to be 1 so the directories   
    ml>>>> get the hex extension added to them...   
      
    TL>>> This is for BSO format that both SBBSecho and Mystic (mutil) use.   
      
    ml>> if i'm reading this correctly, then yes... see here for the (almost)   
   current domain setup my binkd is using to work with sbbsecho...   
      
    ml>>   https://paste.linux-help.org/view/07b043b2   
      
    TL> Yep that's what I'm talking about. :)   
      
   yes, it is part of my work on trying to see what is necessary for sbbsecho to   
   be fully 5D complient... there are some problems due to some 4D assumptions   
   but they are easily worked around... i just need to find more time to dig   
   deeper into the code and see what fixes are needed...   
      
    ml>> i need to move it to a git repo, though... then i can more easily   
    ml>> work with updates to it but there's only been one update, a dns   
    ml>> lookup entry for one net, since i put it up...   
      
    TL> So all of those nets are active?   
      
   i don't know... the list is gleaned from my mailers' logs by scanning for the   
   FTN addresses and domains presented by other mailers when we connect... that   
   data is then run through a series of linux tools to trim it down and create a   
   raw list... that raw list is then manually tweaked into the final result   
   currently being used by my binkd... that raw list is also used to create the   
   proper 5D domain directories in my base BSO directory... i've also added the   
   gathered domains and zones to my tosser's configuration using its defined ini   
   format so BinkIt.js should also be using them when i use BinkIt.js as my   
   mailer...
