"fs listcell" is slow because it does a DNS name lookup on
each IP address.  You can get around this by writing a
program that does a pioctl(,VIOCGETCELL.. until it finds
the right cell or gets an error.  The routine in "fs"
that does this is called "ListCellsCmd" and is really quite short,
if a bit ugly.  There's also a description of this in the AFS programmers
reference stuff for the "cache-manager / file-server interfaces".
