Subj : Othernet domains

Hi All

Sorry for my repost, but does anybody has any idea?
If I enable defnode * while having an othernet active, I get polls to the fido 
nodenumbers with domain othernet as well.
I have only added root-domain to fido, so binkd should not try to look up 
othernet nodes via DNS.

Any ideas to solve this are welcome.
I will report back here after I tried the suggested solutions ;)

 RM> Hi All!

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

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

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

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

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

 RM> #root-domain binkp.net
 RM> #defnode *

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

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

 RM> Is that a config error on my side?

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

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

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