yes, this was brought up some time in the recent past in the BINKD echo when i 
asked for an option to turn off DNS lookups and just use node numbers... i 
don't mind a lookup when i want to poll a domain but i don't need to know IPs 
for the rest of their AKAs... certainly i don't need the gigs of data from all 
those lookups stuffing up my pipe...

nice... pointers? i've also cross-posted this to BINKD since it is rather far 
afield for this area...
