Ahhhhh....

I do "nslookup ftp.apple.com" and see:

	Name Server:  hpccoa.corp.hp.com
	Address:  15.255.216.1
	
	Non-authoritative answer:
	Name:    bric-a-brac.apple.com
	Address:  130.43.2.3
	Aliases:  ftp.apple.com

and yet "ping ftp.apple.com" or "ping bric-a-brac.apple.com" FAILS.
Apparently the site name has been sent out but the machine is not yet
active.  Stay tuned...
