subject: binkit routing questions

Hi all!

I already have binkit configured as node for several nets. (fido, fsx,
micronet, etc) this just work fine.

My fido node are 4:902/26 and also, for testing purpose, i have some
points as downlinks for my fidonet node (ex: 4:902/26.3, 4:902/26.5, etc)

This also works. I can add/remove areas from the "sbbsecho areafix" from
these points and get these packets.

Now, i thinking on receive the 4:900 segment to get downlink
nodes/clients like 4:900/10, 4:900/11, etc. (I think that this setup
called "fidonet hub" mode)

My questing are:

Should I add the 4:900 on scfg->networks->fidonet->system addresses
or must be a node aka like 4:900/0 ?

This is my actual linked nodes:

I already have a node setting to 4:90/1 to get packets for my actual
node (4:902/26)

Should i add another (duplicated) 4:90/1 settings to get the 4:900/xxxx
?? (will generate a new poll to my boos?)

When add a new node downlink (ej 4:900/100) the RouteTo settings have to
let it empty??

I paste my relevant settings of sbbsecho.ini


[node:1:ALL@fidonet]
 Route = 4:90/1
 LocalAddress = 4:902/26
[node:2:ALL@fidonet]
 Route = 4:90/1
 LocalAddress = 4:902/26

 LocalAddress = 4:902/26

 BinkpHost = bbs.darkrealms.ca
 BinkpPort = 24554

[domain:fidonet]
 Zones = 1,2,3,4
 DNSSuffix =

[domain:micronet]

 DNSSuffix =

Sorry my english, and noob questions.. i want to learn and investigate
if are possible to get a complete routing system using synchronet
binkit+sbbsecho or need external aplication to do this work.

 Thanks!
