I dropped out all but five (I think) -- the four "registered" with
the NIC plus one other that I left in so I could watch the difference
(if any).

I think it shows what we want to show--my primary, the two secondaries
that Qwest (was USWest at the time) wanted to show, and the one at 
Great Plains.

I meant no staff for being paranoid.  And cuname (the primary) doesn't
run much but DNS--and "toucan" has other jobs to do--DNS is a sideline
(it is the machine that most of the PC's and such point to).
