I'd like to mark psuvax1 as dead in my maps, but then if any paths end up
with psuvax1 in them, I'd like to have the path start with psuvax1.

Here's the situation:  psuvax1 munges my uucp mail in an unacceptable way
(at least it used to), so I mark it as dead.  I have a connection using
uucp over tcp/ip with lll-winken, and all my mail goes out that way.
Unfortunately, my path to psuvax1 is now

psuvax1	lll-winken!ames!think!bloom-beacon!garp!psuvax1!%s

and hosts which are only reachable through psuvax1 use this path as well.
I want to get rid of the lll-winken!ames!think!bloom-beacon!garp, but not
to route anything more through psuvax1 than I have to.

Any suggestions?

  Bill
