Hi Björn!

A general question:
What advantages does it have to compile the nodelist to a binkd readable file
instead of relying on binkp.net?

I am using binkp and it works like a charme.
fido@odroid:~$ host f31.n310.z2.binkp.net
f31.n310.z2.binkp.net is an alias for fido.ricsi.priv.at.
fido.ricsi.priv.at has address 62.178.175.238
fido.ricsi.priv.at has IPv6 address 2001:6f8:1298:0:c022:9ff:fef2:5fe8

and in binkd.cfg
root-domain binkp.net
defnode *

Any reason to use a local file except for reliability of the binkp service?
(the links are configured statically anyhow, and for ocasional crashes the
binkp service is good enough at least for me)

CU, Ricsi
