Cool.

In setting up a new node, REX tries to use the old z.n.?.@fidonet.org(net)
reading from the nodelist. Having used it and being frustrated with that
(since that @fidonet method went bellyup a while ago), I always tried to
use a dynamic or static address there.

However, I have wanted to test if editing the extension to @binkd.net,
which is the new lookup now being used in BinkD. I wonder if it would
resolve as before and not have to rely on ip input during config...
