Hello Wilfred!

In this case, as far as I know, the sysop was having trouble
updating the DNS record on this host, and it was faster to make the
changes in the nodelist, after which the records on binkp.net and
fidonet.net were automatically regenerated. Connectivity was restored.

I don`t see any problems with this at all :) And if all nodes do
this, there will be far fewer issues with expired domain names in the
node list and stale DNS records. Moreover, FTS-5004 specifically calls for
this method of populating the DDN, and a CNAME pointing to an existing
name is simply an alternative.
