Background:

nidump hosts / produces (partial only):

192.42.172.6    sable
192.42.172.1    beauty mailhost
192.42.172.2    sponge

nidump bootptab / produces (partial only):

%%
sable            1  0:0:f:0:67:6    192.42.172.6     mach
beauty           1  0:0:f:0:a3:89   192.42.172.1     mach
sponge           1  0:0:f:0:66:3f   192.42.172.2     mach

BUG:

nidump bootptab / >junk
niload bootptab / <junk

has the unfortunate side effect of removing "mailhost" as an
alternate name for "beauty" and the entire mail system falls apart.

This is a very ugly thing to do at a site that counts on e-mail 
working through a mailhost!
