Hi again,

I finally got around to trying out dns resolution for cells listed in the
CellServDB. However, the proposed solution does not work with openafs-client
1.4.12+dfsg-3 on ubuntu 10.04 64-bit lucid larynx. Upon ls-ing the
/afs/cellname directory, a "Connection timed out" is immediately returned.
Any thoughts?
