I mentioned this before, and got a *little* bit of a response, but nothing helpful. Once again: kithrup polls two sites (nobody calls kithrup *sniff* 8-)), sco(.com), and ucscc(.ucsc.edu). It calls sco thrice a day, and ucscc once an hour. sco has a map entry, but ucscc does not. Short of forging an entry for ucscc, is there any way of telling the maps databases that I am only one hop away from the internet? If I *do* have to forge one, what should it look like? (I.e., how do I tell pathalias that ucscc is on the internet, so any other site also on the internet can get to it in less than a second [hopefully 8-)]?)

I run a bbs using Opus that is linked into Fidonet. Using UFGATE, I can transceive Usenet email and news with my host, infonode. Infonode runs sendmail and can handle fully qualified domain names. Here is the bang path from my site, umagic, to uunet. umagic!infonode!ingr!uunet Email on infonode or ingr, if it doesn't belong to one of those, is routed to uunet for distribution. What should be done to allow mail from infonode or ingr to go to umagic (assuming that is the destination) without being routed through uunet? Is this handled in the maps? Umagic's or Infonode's, or both? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
