and with FTS-5004 (binkp.net) it's also not really secure. we don't even have
an informal agreement how to deal with these addresses does the binkp server
have to offer a cert for it's binkp.net address? or should the binkp client
verify the certificate based on the domain the CNAME / SRV record points to?

of course it always can be treat like a self-signed cert.
