Hello,

We have had to replace our master openafs fileserver several times. Each
time we have had to go through each client and update the CellServDB file to
reflect the IP address of the new replacement server. Since we always map a
domain name to the master openafs fileserver, is it possible to specify in
the CellServDB file to always use domain name x as opposed to an IP? This
feature would allow the system to reconfigure itself automatically once the
DNS information is updated. By any chance is this feature already present
and I've simply missed it?

Thanks,

Ken
