[Dxspider-support] Node verification

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Yes, but only node connections. The latest spoofing is most likely a 
rouge node connecting to another node with some other valid callsign 
that is registered as a node connection. Then it can inject whatever it 
wants into the network. Currently, we have no checking other than 
password and IP block list for any node connections.

Nodes need DNS for users to connect.
