Hello Dmitry!

Incorrect. There were reports that when people entered a static IP
address in their configuration files, connectivity was restored. The cause
was precisely a malfunctioning DNS.

That makes sense. You should have compared the ddn.binkp.net and
fidonet.net zones.
Are there any discrepancies between them?
Eugene
... It`s full of stars!
