So it would seem...

Strictly speaking your system is not multi homed. Both host names point to the
same IP address. It is multi DNS.

The two hostenames listed for my system return different IP numbers.

Things do not always work as expected.

Binkp.net extracts a valid address from the nodelist that can be used by binkd
to make a connection.

The standard documents a way to list multiple host names. It does not say that
applications MUST use this feature and try them all. I see no conflict with the
standard.

Ask Markus.
