   Hello Rob,   
      
   On Wednesday April 05 2023 10:08, you wrote to me:

   Yes. Always a good idea to have different host names for different services.   
   Then you have the option to split the services over different machines without   
   having to change host names if the need arises. Most DNS providers have no   
   limit on the number of subdomains.   
      
    RS> Is this just a vanity address or does it have some functional puporse?   
      
   It is just vanity, it serves no technical purpose. But it is quit popular   
   among the Fidonet IPv6 sysops. Over a third of them have such a vanity address.

   You can always discuss it with the author. ;-)

   So you can configure it to pass ICMP6 Ping so that your binkp server address   
   becomes pingable...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
