FTN domains are not the same as internet domains... they are akin to
netbios/netbuei domains and are limited to 8 characters... there is some
crossover in a few cases but f.n.z conversion lookups of FTN addresses require
to be told the proper DNS domain to look up the f.n.z address on... in the case
 of fidonet, that is now binkp.net because a domain squatter grabbed the
fidonet.net domain years ago and wants too much $$$ for it...

just so you and others reading along understand, a f.n.z conversion looks like
this...

  my FTN address: 1:3634/12
  converted to f.n.z: f12.n3634.z1

and now it needs an internet domain for the DNS lookup so since it is a fidonet
 address, it gets binkp.net tacked on so that it looks like this...

  f12.n3634.z1.binkp.net

and the binkp.net DNS will return the currently listed IP or a CNAME or
NXDOMAIN if there's no entry for that address...
