There is a bug in the README file of version 0.3.x. The parameter
"-sctp=0.0.0.0:9999" is wrong. It must be "-sctp=<IP address of your
host>:9999". Using INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0), your nameserver announces itself to
be reachable at address 0.0.0.0, which is of course wrong.

If you have more than one address, use e.g.:
"-sctp=<IP address 1>:9999,<IP address 2>,<IP address 3>"


A new version with a corrected README file will be on our website soon.
