   and with FTS-5004 (binkp.net) it's also not really secure. we don't even have   
   an informal agreement how to deal with these addresses does the binkp server   
   have to offer a cert for it's binkp.net address? or should the binkp client   
   verify the certificate based on the domain the CNAME / SRV record points to?   
      
   of course it always can be treat like a self-signed cert.
