Subj : Nodelist Parser...

Okay, a more serious nodelist question...
 
What is a nodelist parser supposed to do with a line that has two INA 
addresses? Right now, I am taking the second, mainly because one line just has 
INA:9600, which totally tripped up my address validation code. [fixed].
 
There are a couple lines that have for example ITN:domain.address, no IBN, no 
INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not marked as Pvt or Down. What 
rule of thumb should be applied?
 
I have Rhenium polling every node right now in the background - just so I can 
validate my nodelist parser. Finding a lot of systems that are IP based are not 
available - I know someone is going to defend this with ZMH... however, I 
haven't gotten to implement XM,CM,etc. logic. Rhenium is doing this so I can 
collect VER information (what systems are running what, along with collecting 
M_ADR list for what networks others are in around the world).
 
* This is running in single thread poll - so I would not mess up anyone, 
including my ISP if I spawned off a few thousand threads.  
Regards,
Ozz
