[OpenAFS] Inconsistent Cell Info on server problem

Hello,

I'm setting up my first AFS network, but I'm having a problem which is
preventing me from adding additional servers.  I got the first server
working fine, but when I tried to add an additional server, the first
server stopped working.

The first server's hostname is matrix.cluenet.org.  It is behind NAT.
Its internal IP is 10.5.10.47 and its external IP is 69.61.141.122.  The
second server is radian.cluenet.org, and has a public IP of 70.85.16.91.
They're not on the same LAN.

On radian, when I start the bos server, it starts ok, and the other
servers also start fine.  However, when I start bosserver on matrix,
none of the other servers start.  The only significant log entries on
matrix after this are in PtLog:
Thu Dec 20 17:56:15 2007 Using 10.5.10.47 as my primary address
Thu Dec 20 17:56:15 2007 Inconsistent Cell Info on server: Thu Dec 20
17:56:15 2007 70.85.16.91 Thu Dec 20 17:56:15 2007 
ptserver: problems with host name Ubik init failed

The server CellServDB on matrix is:
>cluenet.org	#Cell name
10.5.10.47    #matrix.cluenet.org
70.85.16.91    #radian.cluenet.org

The server CellServDB on radian is:
>cluenet.org	#Cell name
69.61.141.122    #matrix.cluenet.org
70.85.16.91    #radian.cluenet.org

/etc/hosts on matrix is:
127.0.0.1	localhost
10.5.10.47	matrix.cluenet.org matrix

/etc/hosts on radian is:
127.0.0.1               ldap.cluenet.org ldap localhost
70.85.16.91		radian.cluenet.org radian

Radian has proper DNS and rDNS records.  Matrix has a proper forward DNS
record, but rDNS on its external IP does not point to
matrix.cluenet.org.

Thanks for any help,
Chris
