[OpenAFS-devel] AFS with DNS using AFSDB records

[Shyh-Wei Luan]

Jeff Riegel also has an implementation of the AFSDB support that he is
currently testing.   Maybe we should compare the two independent
designs/implementations.   Since this is going to be a very important
enhancement to AFS and would affect all platforms, it would not hurt to be
a little more careful and to leverage this accidental dual implementation.

It will be in CVS soon; There are some pseudo-political issues involved,
basically to ensure we don't do something and then have Transarc do
something else incompatible (not with AFSDB, but it adds an AFSOP and we
should try to make sure Transarc doesn't add one with the same number)
