Hi All!

I am experimenting with othernets, and have a strange thing (misconfiguration 
on my side?)

I have 2 addresses 1 FIDO, 1 othernet.
I want binkd to use binkp.net for unknown fido addresses.
For the othernet only the nodes defined in the config should be used.

My config looks like this:
root-domain not configured.
fido domain has root-domain binkp.net
othernet has no root-domain

domain fidonet /home/fido/outbound 2 binkp.net
domain fido alias-for fidonet
domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
domain othernet /home/fido/outbound 2

address 2:310/31@fidonet
address 666:1/2@othernet

#root-domain binkp.net
#defnode *

If defnode * is commented out it works, but does not dial unknown fido nodes 
that have an entry in binkp dns.
If I enable defnode * it adds a second othernet AKA to all the nodes it tries 
to dial:

  -h 2:310/31.1@fidonet
  -d 2:12/340@fidonet
  -h 2:310/31.1@othernet <-- should not be here
  -d 2:12/34@othernet <-- should not be here

Is that a config error on my side?

I thought if root-domain is only configured for one domain, it should only be 
used in that domain.
To me it looks like it also does 2. DNS lookups for the nodenumber, and adds 
the same node also with domain @othernet.

Is there a way to configure binkd to a) only add @othernet AKAs to nodes that 
are configured for @ithernet
b) lookup unknown fido nodes in binkp.net and dial them (not for othernet)

I use HPT as a tosser and have used the domainless tosser config from the FAQ.
