I just got some neat automatic mail messages about the internet
host table domain cleanup which points out to me some additional
silliness going on.  Why (this is rhetorical, I know why) are there
hosts listed in the INTERNET HOST TABLE that are not INTERNET HOSTS.
A host on our IMP, PERDIMS-38, is an X.25 PAD, and doesn't know IP
from a hole in the ground.  Yet it is Port 9 on IMP 29 so someone
crafted up a 26.9.0.29 address for it.
