As per my first post on this topic, fileservers are:
C:\>for /l %i in (1,1,4) do @rxdebug afs%i -version
Trying 128.174.251.8 (port 7000):
AFS version:  OpenAFS 1.4.1-rc2 built  2005-12-12
Trying 128.174.251.9 (port 7000):
AFS version:  OpenAFS 1.4.1-rc5 built  2006-01-27
Trying 128.174.251.10 (port 7000):

Trying 128.174.251.13 (port 7000):
AFS version:  OpenAFS 1.4.0 built  2005-12-11

The FileLog I quoted is from 128.174.251.8 however, the one that is 
likely seeing the most traffic from my laptop, is 128.174.251.9 which is 
where my user volume resides currently.
