Everyone's name resolution might work better if the correct name of our 
machine is used: "bikini.cis.ufl.edu" (that is "cis", not "cs").  This  
machine is also reachable as "cis.ufl.edu" and "ufl.edu".  It is currently 
running with two Ether interfaces with IP numbers of 128.227.224.1 and 
128.227.128.2.  Also, for what it is worth, this naming is done with A RRs,
not CNAME RRs.
 
Thanks again to Eric and Mark for their continuing support of the "good" 
brand of IBM *nix.  Now, if we could only get a 4.3/4.4 port to the 
RS6000... 
  
Regards, 
Chuck
