Has anyone had any experience with AFSDB RRs in DNS? According to
RFC1183, an entry like
ncsa.uiuc.edu. IN AFSDB 1 jinx.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
IN AFSDB 1 congo.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
IN AFSDB 1 nile.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
will designate those three systems as AFS database servers.
Unfortunately, removing NCSA's entry from /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
causes AFS to fail entirely, leading me to think that this isn't
enabled by default (Linux 2.2.12, AFS 3.6 1.29).
Is there something that I need to do to make AFS DNS aware? And if
there is, does anyone have any pointers to the implementation? (i.e.
which takes precendence, CellServDB or DNS?)
Thanks,
Chris
