I have two questions.  First, can anyone explain why Yellow Pages requires
the files served to be in a DBM format?  Secondly, does anyone know of a similar
service that could be used for non-dbm files?  For instance, if for administrative
reasons I did NOT want to NFS mount the /usr/man and /usr/local/man pages but
instead distribute them in a manner similar to Yellow Pages, what could I do to
achieve this?

Thanks!
