 You will have to reajust your expectations.

 The following line should be in your config file.

-------------------------------
#
# Overrides root domain for DNS lookups, see `node' below.
#
root-domain binkp.net
-----------------

That forces de domain for defnode and "*" notations for hostnames.

The "*" notation forces binkd to use the following hostname

   fn.nx.zy.binkd.net

 Where x=nodenumber, y=netnumber, z=zonenumber
