I've been following the posting of site information by individual sites,
and think that getting this information passed around is a great idea,
but I do have a problem with the format.  The current format is to post
one article per site.  I've got over 100 sites I can post the information
for directly.  There are over 600 Bell System sites in the NAC registry
here I could also post some information about.  What I'd like to do is
post one article per subnet (various LANs, uucp connections, etc.), giving
connection information within each subnet, and also listing major
gateway(s) into each subnet and which sites they talk to. What format
should it be posted in?  Can the `recsite' script be modified to recognize
whatever format we come up with?  Pathalias can handle subnets, so
the information should still be usable by everyone.  Any ideas?
