In response to Alan Hill's remarks about a large number of packets being sent to a decommisioned host, I suspect that the primary cause is that USC-ISIB used to be one of the root servers for the name-domain system. Many sights probably have not changed there configuration information to properly reflect the change. UC Berkeley, and CSNet are both heavy users of the system. There should be some attempt to notify the domain administrators and inform them of this change. Jim Bloom
