Howdy,

I dont think I mentioned this earlier.

Just thought I'd let you know that tqwnet is now supporting DNS nodelist queries. (FTS-5004)

ML delegated z1337.erb.pw to clrghouz, which means your node and BBS name, including operating ports are available in the DNS.

The syntax is [pP.]fX.nY.z1337.erb.pw, where P is the point address (this is optional, and clrghouz doesnt have any point definitions in it). X is your node number and Y is your net number.

So for my BBS, its f101.n2.z1337.erb.pw. Querying a TXT record you should get back the BBS name (Alterant):

For clrghouz:
host -t TXT f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw descriptive text "Clearing Houz"

Querying for a SRV record, you prefix that with _binkp._tcp..., so for clrghouz:
host -t SRV _binkp._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
_binkp._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw has SRV record 0 0 24554
clrghouz.bbs.dege.au.

and emsi...
host -t SRV _ifcico._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw
_ifcico._tcp.f100.n2.z1337.erb.pw has SRV record 0 1 60179 clrghouz.bbs.dege.au.

This is only useful to you, if you have a mailer that supports DNS queries. Currently Synchronet does, and I believe binkd does as well - not sure about other software.

If your details are not correct, make sure your ML has the updated
information, which is sent in the next nodelist. For Hub 2 nodes, you can update your details in clrghouz, and it'll be visible immediately.

Thanks for the reminder, great idea and seems to work nicely. I'm not sure if mystic can use it, but it's a nice feature to have for the other systems in the
