That's the key element. Do not mix up.

Just as well, and in his case, he mixed up the "root-domain" with "domain". The last option should not be 'fidonet' or 'fsxnet'. In Fidonet's case, it should be binkp.net. If fsxnet has a root-domain
that can be looked up, that should be there instead.

Then root-domain does stand for "DNS internet domain"?

Above you set the fsxnet zone outbound to zone 4. If 21 is correct
then it should be 21. In that case no domain is needed. As long you
have seperate zones there is no need for domains.

Only when using 5D addressing, which he is not. Please don't confuse
him more than he already is. :/

I do apologize. I think there are three issues within the config. I would choose different outbounds for the domains, then each domain could have it's own zone breakdown subdirs.

The DNS lookups was already explained by Tommi but i did not understand fully because there was no root-domain reference mentioned.

The third one is point to bossnode routing. I think that could be fixed later.

You should use binkp.net here or just remove it. Now your binkd
tries to resolve the domain .fidonet, which may not exist.

Hm, sure?

Yes.

Sorry, the position of the originating underscore (+++) and domain fidonet pointed me to the first fidonet keyword. Now it does make sense.

Maybe we could turn to fully edited config lines to avoid confusion. ;-)

At first tried to do that but HPT doesn't allow to specify an outbound directory for each link. I has support for 5D addressing but not everywhere.

What about "Filebox"? I used it for my points "hold" directory. Each point had it's own.
