That relationship between cells and domains has allready grown in a
way that this seems to match quite well. The few non matchig cells can
be taken care of by a configuration file like CellServDB. If we want
OpenAFS fo spread, it is important that new cells can be started
without hassle. Step 1 is AFSDB, step 2 is dynroot and step 3 is (as
Nathan wrote) some kind of automounter that populates /afs as you go.

Example: Think of some guest researcher visiting your facilities. Both
places run AFS. With steps 1 to 3 enabled as above the guest
researcher can find his files without needing to bother any sysadmins
at all. I'd like that.
