What threw me was the subdomain in the UUCP map. Normally, you sort of expect subdomains to be either geographical or departmental, but not by something like machine type. Oxford's oxcnvx .convex.oxford.ac.uk line sounded like we were hiding our UK office under .oxford.ac.uk (as far as I can tell, our real UK office is the UUCP site "eurodem"). I wonder how many "strange, but true" instances of subdomaining are out there. David David Paul Zimmerman dpz@convex.com CONVEX Computer Corp convex!dpz
