I have been wondering for a while about changing the addresses
of the AFS db servers, in part because this previous message:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.openafs.general/33=
296

    =ABMoving the database server with the lowest IP address
    requires some care; moving database servers generally
    requires updating clients;=BB

Is that still current? What is the extra care for the elected
master? I have some guesses, but would rather know.

BTW I keep adding hints/pecularities of OpenAFS configuration to
this section:

and I have just found some more in the UBIK wishlist:
