Summary: Interim hack


     As an interim hack, try declaring the terminal hosts as dead,
using the -d command switch.  This causes pathalias to attribute a
very high cost to paths _through_ the named host, but does not
affect the cost to the host itself.  The command would be

     	  pathalias -d dead-host-1 -d dead-host-2 ... files
