[OpenAFS] Re: Open AFS new DNS SRV record needed

[John W. Sopko Jr.]

I just stumbled on the solution. We use AFSDB records for
our cs.unc.edu cell. I had read the release page several times
but missed this:

Adds support for DNS SRV records _afs3-vlserver._udp.<cellname> in place of 
DNS AFSDB records.

Adding our cell manually fixed. We will add the new recored to our
DNS.
