For the purposes of mail routing, the database will continue to be
maintained.  The difference is that all the sites on the net will not
be included.  The d.* maps, which will replace the u.* maps, will
include only enough data to get the mail to the gateway system for the
destination domain, which would then route it further (i.e. within
that domain)
