[ale] NIS Problem

[Christopher.Coleman at nsc.com (Christopher Coleman)]

I believe I understand how this works. Host1 will have 4 entries created

host1 192.168.1.1 host1 host1.domain.com loghost mailhost
host1.domain.com 192.168.1.1 host1 host1.domain.com loghost mailhost
loghost 192.168.1.1 host1 host1.domain.com loghost mailhost
mailhost 192.168.1.1 host1 host1.domain.com loghost mailhost


This way the lookup works regardless of the name used. Sorry for 
"thinking out load".
