Perhaps the paths need to have that information added? There is support
for it... perhaps a "u.internet" that simply has:

internet = {
	uu.net
	psi.com
	rice.edu
	uh.edu
	...
	} (DIRECT)

Or you can cull your own copy of this and add it to your pathalias run.
Much smarter than hacking the output of pathalias, no?

Anyone want to build a canonical u.internet?
