Since you put up your cnanes right everything will work fine.

You dont have an AFSDB-record.
I do belive that DNS is better than {HOSTS.TXT,CellServDB}.

$ dig AFSDB lns.mit.edu | grep AFSDB
; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> AFSDB lns.mit.edu
;lns.mit.edu.                   IN      AFSDB


It should look like this:

$ dig AFSDB openafs.org | grep AFSDB
; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> AFSDB openafs.org
;openafs.org.                   IN      AFSDB
openafs.org.            3593    IN      AFSDB   1 virtue.openafs.org.


At my site we will very soon just put sites in our root.afs that have a
valid AFSDB-record. We will then have an empty CellServDB-file, which i
think i an good idea.
