Everyone's name resolution might work better if the correct name of our machine is used: "bikini.cis.ufl.edu" (that is "cis", not "cs"). This machine is also reachable as "cis.ufl.edu" and "ufl.edu". It is currently running with two Ether interfaces with IP numbers of 128.227.224.1 and 128.227.128.2. Also, for what it is worth, this naming is done with A RRs, not CNAME RRs. Thanks again to Eric and Mark for their continuing support of the "good" brand of IBM *nix. Now, if we could only get a 4.3/4.4 port to the RS6000...
