More specifically, you have three CellServDB files to worry about:

- The one on the "outside" clients, which should contain only the 
externally visible addresses.

- The one on the "inside" clients, which should presumably contain only the 
interior addresses.

- The one used by the servers themselves.  This lives in /usr/afs/etc or 
/etc/openafs/server, depending on how you built OpenAFS.  This file must be 
the same on all three servers, and should contain _exactly_ one line for 
each server.  As Derrick points out, that line should have the name you get 
when you run 'hostname' on that machine, and the IP address you get when 
you resolve that name via DNS.
