	Worse, it's bypassing earlier gateways, for what reason I know not
-- but I do know that allegra talks to ucbvax [allegra is the third of 15
hops in the path] -- for some reason hplabs passes the stuff to ucbvax, not
allegra, which is why it takes forever to get to arpaland.  So why doesn't
allegra pass to ucbvax?
