   yes, this was brought up some time in the recent past in the BINKD echo when i   
   asked for an option to turn off DNS lookups and just use node numbers... i   
   don't mind a lookup when i want to poll a domain but i don't need to know IPs   
   for the rest of their AKAs... certainly i don't need the gigs of data from all   
   those lookups stuffing up my pipe...

   nice... pointers? i've also cross-posted this to BINKD since it is rather far   
   afield for this area...
