 > DNS has absolutely nothing to do with the nodelist.

Well, it kind of does since the FidoNet nodelist (at least zones 1 and 2's) is used to populate the DNS zone file for the binkp.net domain:

$ host f426.n229.z1.binkp.net
f426.n229.z1.binkp.net is an alias for bbs.darkrealms.ca.
bbs.darkrealms.ca has address 142.112.73.114

^^ That's a DNS query that only works because of the contents of the nodelist.
