      Hi Ozz,              On 2018-06-27 17:16:37, you wrote to All:               ON> Okay, a more serious nodelist question...               ON> What is a nodelist parser supposed to do with a line that has two INA        ON> addresses?              A node can have multiple domains. binkd.config can handle that too.
