Yes, you certainly can, and certainly *should*.

Also, in a previous reply I made in this thread, you can/should specify 
what zones belong to what networks.  In your sbbsecho.ini file you 
should have something similar to this:

[domain:fidonet]
    Zones = 1,2,3,4
    DNSSuffix = binkp.net
    NodeList = /sbbs/fido/nodelist/NODELIST.217

[domain:fsxnet]
    Zones = 21
    DNSSuffix = fsxnet.nz
    NodeList = /sbbs/fido/nodelist/FSXNET.217

etc, etc...



.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
