it only works when there's no domain specified...

eg:
Zone,1,blahblahblah
Region,18,blahblah
Net,3634,blahblah
,12,WPUSA,N.C._USA,mark_lewis,-Unpublished-,300,XA,CM,ITN,IBN,IVM,PING

the above would be looked up as f12.n3634.z1.binkp.net or maybe p0.f12.... and
if my CNAME is working properly, it should then lookup up my published domain
and then give the IP address currently in use for the connection...

NOTE: the XA flag is incorrect for binkp connections but it is correct for my
telnet and vmodem connections... i haven't tried flying a double XX,XA or XA,XX
flag set to see if that helps with remote systems using binkp to generate the
proper FREQ format and send it along...
