   I was just suggesting a single entry that would remap fidonet.net to   
   binkp.net's IP as opposed to hex-editing the hard-coded string.  Sorry I can't   
   test to sanity-check...don't have any downlinks that require Irex's features   
   currently, and didn't use this particular one when I did. I would expect   
   resolution to be handled remotely, if you can just reach the right resolver.
