From: HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC

Mike,

A minor change in the ordering of the nickname field in version #457 of
the host table proved to be an inconvenience to BRL hosts.  Therefore
the following version (#458) reverted the name field to the following
format:

... :domain name (if any), official name.arpa, official name, nickname: ...

We are sorry for any inconveniences this has caused.

In the future please send all correspondence pertaining to host tables
directly to HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA.  The fact that Hostmaster did not
receive your messages directly caused a delay in correcting the problem.
