Is it possible to set openafs to lookup the afsdb from dns on a mac

As of 1.4.1-rc9, the Mac OS X client will check AFSDB by default;
there is no need for additional configuration on the client.
And will that override the ip that is in the CellServDB?
No; CellServDB always overrides AFSDB. Sort of like /etc/hosts.
.... except that on any vageuly modern system, you can make DNS
override /etc/hosts if you really want to, but you can't make AFS
ignore the CellServDB in favor of looking up AFSDB records. I don't
expect this ever to change -- if you want to look up dbservers for a
cell dynamically, don't include that cell in the CellServDB.

IF /etc/nsswitch.conf could contain a line like this:
afs: dns files
OR
afs: files dns
things would work just like DNS. Could this be a possible solution?
