I was just suggesting a single entry that would remap fidonet.net to
binkp.net's IP as opposed to hex-editing the hard-coded string.  Sorry I
can't test to sanity-check...don't have any downlinks that require Irex's
features currently, and didn't use this particular one when I did. I would
expect resolution to be handled remotely, if you can just reach the right
resolver.
