      TID: FMail-W32 2.1.3.7-B20170919       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: UTF-8 4       PID: GED+W32 1.1.5-b20170303       MSGID: 2:280/5555 6173f798       Hello Binkd Team,              For many years I have been running several binkd nodes. One as my main Fidonet       node, one as my mobile point and several test nodes. It works great.              What I miss is a bit more flexibility regarding bindaddr.              Bindaddr is used to specify the IP address to use for outgoing calls when       there is more than one address avalable for the system. As it is, one can ony       specify one address for all outgoing calls. What I would like to see is a way       to use different addresses for different destinations.              The first use case for bindaddr is of course ::f1d0. Presently I use:              bindaddr [2001:1c02:1102:ac00:f1d0:2:280:5555]               for my main node              I can imagine a participant in another network would like to use something       else for that other network. Such as:              bindaddr [2001:1c02:1102:ac00:39:39:0:0] for use by the ZC of Amiganet.              For testing within my own LAN I would like to be able to use local addresses.       Usefull for testing in an environment where there is (deliberately or       accdidentally) no internet connection. In addition to global IPv6 addresses I       have assigned ULAs for my (test)nodes as well. So when possible and practical       for my IPv6 only test node I use:              bindaddr [fd51:550:40b9:0:f1d0:2:280:5556]              (fd51:550:40b9::/48) is a ULA prefix that many years ago I registered with       SixXs).              So wouldn't it be nice if one could use more than one bindaddr keyword and add       an FTN match to it. Like:              bindaddr6 [fd51:550:40b9:0:f1d0:2:280:5556] 2:280/5555@fidonet       bindaddr6 [2001:1c02:1102:ac00:f1d0:2:280:5556] *@fidonet       bindaddr6 [2001:1c02:1102:ac00:ac0:77:8500:100] *@aconet       bindaddr6 [2001:1c02:1102:ac00:21:100:1:0] 21:*       bindaddr6 [::] *              Binkd uses the address of the first match for the outgoing call.                     Cheers, Michiel       --- Fmail, Binkd, Golded        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/200 424 426 550 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/109 206 307       SEEN-BY: 249/317 261/38 280/464 5003 5555 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0       SEEN-BY: 301/1 101 113 123 812 322/757 341/66 342/200 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 920/1 5019/40 5020/1042 5053/58 5058/104       PATH: 280/5555 301/1 229/426           |
