clearly i misread the example. i should have had sys=dexter-peak 
dom=dexter-peak.quanstro.net

| Multiple "dom" entries?  Nothing that I'm aware of says that "sys" is
| a more significant key than "dom".

multi-homed as in a machine with addresses 192.168.0.1/16, 10.0.0.1/8
and fe80::240:f4ff:febf:3a75/64. for example in bind syntax:

dexter-peak.quanstro.net.       in a    192.168.0.1
                        in a    10.0.0.1
                        in aa   fe80::240:f4ff:febf:3a75/64

before posting i read the ndb(7) page and tried things like this:

ip=192.168.0.4 ip=10.0.0.1 sys=dexter-peak dom=dexter-peak.quanstro.net
        smtp=dexter-peak.quanstro.net
        mx=dexter-peak.quanstro.net

but ndbmkdb drops this on the floor.
