Aregahegn, Here is a manifestation of the problem I was talking about: some DNS clients cannot find hosts on msci; in this case wierdlmpc.msci.memphis.edu. This is obviously a serious problem, since people loose email.
Instead of waiting for the IT peoiple to fix the main dns server on campus, we can easily have a fix if the cs dns server gets an msci A and NS record as well. Then the only thing the IT people have to do is replace the old NS and A record for the msci dns server.
