Interestingly, my binkd (latest version with FTS-5004 enabeled) doesn't try to 
lookup SRV records at all. I don't know if it is a specific problem on my 
system or if it is a bug in binkd. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody else 
recognized it, because only a few nodes use binkp.net and only a few nodes are 
on non-standard ports.

The missing SRV records don't seem to be an issue in fsxnet, because maybe 
nobody uses it.
