In answer to your original question...

The OpenAFS distributions that include a CellServDB generally use the
GRAND.CENTRAL.ORG Public CellServDB, which is maintained as a service to
the AFS community, particularly those running older clients which don't
support AFSDB.  The most recent version can always be obtained from

  /afs/grand.central.org/service/CellServDB
  ftp://grand.central.org/pub/cellservdb/CellServDB
  http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB

To get your cell added, send a copy of your entry to
cellservdb@grand.central.org.
