RM> Any reason to use a local file except for reliability of the binkp
service?

   Using both options gives you double the reliability -- for starters.

   Also, if you use the daily-list issued by some ZCs you usually get faster
propagation time for the URL changes that you rely on. Sometimes changes at the
internet can move faster than what your weekly nodelist (that I think the
binkp.net service relies on) can cope with. YMMV...
