Guys,  to  forestall  further  discussions  on  this.   The  name
"SRI-NIC.ARPA" is the official name for the NIC now and  this  is
due  mostly  to  historical concerns.  At some time in the future
(i.e.  when I can spare the time to argue the case at  the  PMO),
the  NIC will change to something like NIC.DDN.MIL.  (No, I don't
want naming suggestions just yet thanks!)
