-> This line comes from local-janet.chn ... and looks fine. The problem is that
-> the top.chn entries above are stealing from you. Try re-arranging your
-> config.site file so that top.chn is referenced after local-janet.chn .
-> The documentation forgets to mention that the order of config.site file
-> entries is significant.

Bingo!  That was the probelm.  I had a line
uk        uk
as you suggested.  I had to have that line in otherwise I don't get uk as
a top domain, I also wanted to run wih top.chn and top.dom linked.  Anyway,
re-ordering the config file ensured that the uk.%s was dealt with first.

Ta. for your help.
