=> What's called for are a list of the exceptions, known only to stroph, where
=> the name server isn't used.

=Almost. You need to define all possible names as LOCAL. For example, on
=my cluster of five CPU's here's a snippet of MCP SHOW:
=
=Domain-to-path mappings:
=  Domain="ccvax1.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
=  Domain="ccvax1.csus.edu", Path=Local
=  Domain="ccvax1", Path=Local
=  Domain="[130.86.89.1]", Path=Local
=  Domain="ccvax2.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
=  Domain="ccvax2.csus.edu", Path=Local
=  Domain="ccvax2", Path=Local
=  Domain="[130.86.89.2]", Path=Local
=
=I then use MX records in the Domain Name Service config file to point all
=of these machines (ccvax1, ccvax2...) to the actual machine running the
=SMTP_Server.
=
=And as was mentioned, ORDER IS IMPORTANT. These must come before the
=wildcards!

Either you or I misunderstand his problem.  As I understand it,
NODE1.UNIV-ST-ETIENNE.FR is NOT clustered with STROPH, so it CAN'T be a local
delivery.

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
