Keywords: hp, 3 domains

1.  NS/ARPA includes both HP's "old" (NS) network code and their
TCP/IP (ARPA) implimentation.  The name given to "npowerup" is for the
old software as far as I have been able to tell.  The address is for
the ARPA software.  As far as TCP/IP goes, the kernel need not know
the name of the node, just the address.  The NS code has a single
[symbolic] naming layer, so the kernel must know that name for the
node on which it is running.

2.  I don't think the domain code is publically available yet.  It was
recently distributed to some of HPLab's grant recipient schools, but I
haven't gotten an official product tape yet...  Right now, offical
NS/ARPA does domains in the sense that /etc/hosts can have domain
formatted names, but it doesn't provide a networked resolver or name
server.
