	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?

The order of domain resolution searches is directly dictated by the order
of domain declarations in your config.site file.
