Just for fun I activated logging of all search queries and started some
programs from /afs in a terminal...
Used programs: nautilus, dolphin, mc, eclipse, kile, octave, google-chrome,
vim, apt-cache, matlab
lan is my domain in my home network therefore only search for
afs3-vlserver._udp.*.lan
$ cat /var/log/syslog | gawk '$5~/named/ &&
match($9,/_afs3-vlserver._udp.(.*).lan/,var) {print var[1]}' | sort -u

I am surprised by the queries for the top level domains of Saint Helena (.sh),
Somalia (.so) and Laos (.la). Also I did not think that the list will be that
long.
I know normally you would not start all this programs for the directory /afs.
But I am sure that I already have often started mc form /afs and all this
libX11 entries are from mc. I just was interested in the outcome and as
expected some of the programs where unusable especially eclipse.
