Hi Javier,

On 2025-09-20 19:42:12, you wrote to me:

Binkd can't use the nodelist directly.

There is a perl script that can do it, configured like this:

#
# Perl hooks file (if built with Perl)
#
#perl-hooks ~/ftn/binkd/nodelist.pl

Or you can "compile" the nodelist to a format that binkd can use. I'm using this php script: http://ambrosia60.ddnss.org/53f8ee03/drv_q/div27/i-util/bnlphp14.zip

And include the compiled file into your binkd.config.

Or you can depend on the service by binkp.net which provides a dns service for node lookups, configured like this:

#
# Overrides root domain for DNS lookups, see 'node' below.
#
root-domain binkp.net


Bye, Wilfred.
