	s/CNAME/ALIAS/

	getaddrinfo() reports relay.esat.net as being a ALIAS.

	Yes, we could go and make a A and also make a AAAA query
	rather than making them indirectly by calling getaddrinfo().

	getaddrinfo() may use /etc/host and NIS.  It should however
	return the fully qualified name.  If it isn't then you have
	/etc/host or NIS misconfigured or you have a broken getaddrinfo()
	implementation.

	Note: the "out of zone" queries will always be problematic as
	they are not made in the context of the view in which the
	zone is held.
