We have a mid-90's version of Moira that runs on Ingres.

We're trying to get rid of it, but that means we've got to basically 
write our own versions of DCM.  I'm letting my peers deal with that. :-)

(the plan is that we'll probably use a directory for the central 
information repository, and then we'll have to write something that has 
the functionality of afsgen and something for generating hesiod zone 
files)
