Mark talks all about "host table this" and "obsolete software this"
but the problem that I had (and I think J Larson had) was that,
due to NIC paperwork (i.e., changing *anything* about a host/gateway
that requires an NCD), there are things that will hose you for
sure.  I couldn't get the host table *or the domain database*
changed, so places like sushi.stanford.edu, mcc.com, a.isi.edu (a
*root domain server*!!!) bounced mail headed our way for 5 weeks.

I'm running all the correct software, i'm hip to the "now it's your
namespace, now you have control over it" thang, but I think it's a bit
naive to say that "Ah well, 1% of the time, you'll lose" ...

Summary:  Mark, i'd appreciate it if you'd try a bit harder not to
bounce my mail.  Thanks.
