   Hiya Daryl...

   Last time I spoke to Charles I had the same issues.  The 1000 node with server   
   function is necessary to read the FD nodelist.  I'm still having issues with it   
   but I removed the CM flag and everything get's routed to me except for what I   
   have in my node list.  I'm still working on my FDNODE.CTL file but haven't had   
   the time lately.  According to Charles it should read a compiled nodelist to   
   gather the INA address but it's not.  :(   
      
   I'll look a little deeper into my end. Send me a netmail and see what   
   happens... and then post your log here..
