   5D BSO support uses the hex zone number extension for all but the primary zone    
   in that domain.  binkd is actually flexible enough to work around many mail    
   packages that do it wrong.  FastEcho, for example, always uses the hex zone    
   number extension for domain directories.   
      
   ie: micronet.26a for Micronet zone 618, even though 618 is the primary zone in    
   that domain.   
      
   Thus, by lying to binkd that the primary zone for all domains is 1, you can    
   force binkd to use the hex zone extension for all of your added domains, which    
   is exactly what FastEcho produces.
