OK, I run the following command;

	grep sandiego.ncr.com | wc -l

And I get 57.  Yes, that's 57 machines at NCR, which appear in the maps.
Sites like bigben.sandiego.ncr.com, etc.  Now, my understanding is, that
the whole purpose behind the registration movement, is to avoid things
like this.  I'm not picking on NCR, because there are some other companies
which pull similar stunts.  I worked at a company once, where we had 'cute'
names for all the machines in production.  Can you imagine if these were
in the maps?  There would be updates daily!  NCR in the above example should
be the gateway for their internal machines.  What does it take to get them
to remove that stuff from the map entry?  I could understand it, if the
machines were dotted across the countryside, I mean why route through
6,000 miles to get to a nearby machine, but these all appear to be in
San Diego.  Comments anyone?
