Hi! Stas,

On Tue, 08 Nov 11, you wrote to me:

I was talking about both hostnames resolving to the same IP quad...

  [North.SevES.te.ru] <---> [88.205.248.99] <---> [207.grumbler.org]

That's all.  It is a form of multi-homing but a not so much used term for it
(at least that's what I recall of the Wikipedia page).

One of the hostnames is not necessary (redundant).  The station/node name is
the usual place.  There is no need for the INA-based information for this node,
as well.  It does not matter to me as my mailer, Radius, uses either in any
case.

Yes, yes.  I used to have a similar listing for my node till February this
year, though with only _1_ hostname, and ICM-only with my analogue modem being
toggled on/off as required by Radius for our ZMH times.  :)

 PQ>> I wonder at the flag denoting adherence to Zone 6's ZMH
 PQ>> timings... am I being naive?  :)

My question was for a different purpose.  Now that I look at the nodelist
statistics for the last five years I find that my question was silly.  It was a
silly question, Stas.

 SD> Yes, ofcourse. I dont look the "CM" flag, you too :).

I don't have to look either.  I use a good mailer that adheres to node 'up'
time flags.[sfx: bigger grin than yours]

Cheers,
