root# sockstat -l | grep 8025
tofmipd  python     238    5 tcp4   209.161.205.12:8025   *:*                  
root#

sockstat verifies that I have 8025 open on port 209.161.205.12 which
is the IP address for all 7 domains. I don't understand why 8025 
-should- be bound to 127.0.0.1

>From my persective, the fact that telnet banning.ca 8025 -looks- to
127.0.0.1 is a problem. I would expect it to go to the DNS server,
find the IP address and connect.
