   My problem is with the AKA being used that may get a reply by a node to the   
   posted notify message. The one instance I had this week is node was confused   
   what address to use for sending a areafix, filemgr request too as my system   
   normally expects all to go to 250//1 - at least as far as I know,  but I could   
   be wrong :)   
      
   I would be a lot easier if I can specify what AKA is used for all such notify   
   messages as an override, may be as a added param to mbfido ne which would help   
   make any change easier to do for yourself, etc. Failing that, then the first   
   one on the list of AKA's but that might not suit everyone as it would 'assume'   
   that every one uses first AKA in the list as their primary one.
