But since we present a 5d address, binkd must sort this out somehow. If not
that's strange, but really there's wwivnet and that is kinda it, and a few
folks in rushnet. There's not the network proliferation anymore.

If there is, I'd expect we can sort it out with some scripting for people
using binkd vs. networkb or just telling folks they can't use the same node
number in multiple wwiv networks unless they are using networkb.

If this really becomes a problem (man, that'd be awesome if there were a
crap-load of wwiv networks), then we'll work on making the zone configurable
by the network admin and set up a registry to get numbers (aka a text file in
github that folks can send PRs to).
