No, not a concept error; but a design decision!!

Yes, it is assumed that the right hand side points to a site that
ni_send will know about.  Ni_send should resolve this since each
entry in the nrs tables has a dte address associated with it
(The ARs are resolved when the table is produced, so this is static data).

If you want to ensure that the RHS of the janet.chn is not itself an AR
then it seems to me that c-nrs should do it. I see no benefit of getting
sendmail to dynamically resolve ARs when the data is static.
