Summary: seismo is moving

By the way, the machine you get connected to when you ask for
seismo.css.gov (10.0.0.25) has been called beno for months now. In a few weeks,
seismo.css.gov should return 192.12.141.25 and 10.0.0.25 will point
to a dump pdp 11 that doesn't even talk tcp.

Those of you who cleverly added seismo as a local alias for 10.0.0.25
will be royally screwed. Those who (correctly) use the distributed
hosts.txt or domain servers will be connected to the right machine.

Short term kludges often come back to haunt you....
