The "serves" property is really the long way around to getting the hierarchy of  
domains that are available.  I have been trying to use NIFillDomainHierarchy()  
(called fill_domains() in 2.x) from /usr/include/netinfo/domain.h with partial  
success.  The call has no documentation, so I've basically been playing around  
until the real docs arrive.  Over in c.s.n.marketplace, Brett Adam  
(bpja@codex.oz.au) is offering to sell documentation on NetInfo that his  
company developed.  I'm getting it!
