root-domain is invalid

eg you cant find it in firefox ?

suggest change to 

root-domain binkp.net

now to your nodelines

janis filegate is correct, the rest is invalid, since 24554 is not a known
hostname that works in firefox :)

to get most out of root-domain use * for the hostnames in node ...

then binkd will try f0.n230.z2.binkp.net with in dns resolves to duggi.junc.org
and binkd can now get the ip to connect to, all done, if you try to send
netmail crash to me of course :)

check logs if its still failing
