I briefly checked what is in the binkp.net DNS.  I don't think it supports 
multi-homed systems at all.  My system is multi-homed using example #1 from 
FTS-5001.  Binkp.net shows only one of the two addresses.  I had expected to 
see two CN records with 2 different host names.

I'll do some more digging tomorrow, but based on what I found today, I consider 
binkp.net to be NOT following the standard, unless you can point out a nodelist 
entry where BOTH host names show up in binkp.net

As far as the german program goes, where can I find it?  Does it run under 
windows?  I'm not even going to try setting it up unless it has english docs.  
Maybe someone else could do that.

YOUR opinion DOES NOT define current practice.  The software in use does.
