Most certainly... But you'd need "a way" to get a list of cells. It
might even be useful to continue using the current CellServDB format,
but come up with some kind of "magic token" which triggers an AFSDB
lookup for a given cell, or perhaps for all the cells. Of course, you
still have the lose of possibly hanging due to DNS problems if something
is messed up unless you program carefully...
