Howdy,

I dont think I mentioned this earlier.

Just thought I'd let you know that tqwnet is now supporting DNS nodelist
queries. (FTS-5004)

ML delegated z1337.erb.pw to clrghouz, which means your node and BBS name,
including operating ports are available in the DNS.

The syntax is [pP.]fX.nY.z1337.erb.pw, where P is the point address (this is
optional, and clrghouz doesnt have any point definitions in it). X is your node
number and Y is your net number.

So for my BBS, its f101.n2.z1337.erb.pw. Querying a TXT record you should get
back the BBS name (Alterant):

For clrghouz:
host -t TXT f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw descriptive text "Clearing Houz"

Querying for a SRV record, you prefix that with _binkp._tcp..., so for
clrghouz:
host -t SRV _binkp._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
_binkp._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw has SRV record 0 0 24554
clrghouz.bbs.dege.au.

and emsi...
host -t SRV _ifcico._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
_ifcico._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw has SRV record 0 1 60179
clrghouz.bbs.dege.au.

This is only useful to you, if you have a mailer that supports DNS queries.
Currently Synchronet does, and I believe binkd does as well - not sure about
other software.

If your details are not correct, make sure your ML has the updated
information, which is sent in the next nodelist. For Hub 2 nodes, you can update your details in clrghouz, and it'll be visible immediately.
