I'm in the process of adding a new mail host to the NRS. It will be
known as uk.ac.bristol.computervision (uk.ac.bris.cvn).

I've found that with sendmail2.1, an address of the form
"fred@computervision" resolves to fred@uk.co.computervision because
of the order of searches in Ruleset 11 (uk, uk.ac, uk.co, uk.ac.bristol
in my case).

Shouldn't this order be changed?
