Subj : Default commented config correction

Hi All!

The commented binkd.cfg contains this text:
# * Asterisk (`*') in the host list forces Binkd to perform
#       1:2/3.4 --> p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.net translation for a node's
#       Fido-address and lookup IP for the resulting FQDN in DNS.
#       Root domain part ("fidonet.net") can be changed with root-domain
#       keyword.

I think it is not correct any more.

fidonet.net has expired, and more or less replaced by binkp.net

Also the lookup should only made if either
1) root-domain is set globally
2) the FTN domain definition contains the optional root-domain DNS
# Your FTN domains:
#   domain <name> <main-outbound> <default-zone> [<root-domain>]

I think this relates to my previous message, about othernet FTN domains being 
looked up as well, even when no root-domain configured for that othernet.

CU, Ricsi
