The name service that the Internet provides is a part of the delivery mechanism. A UUCP link can also be part of the delivery mechanism if the destination site is a UUCP site. In any case, there's no need for a.b.c.d.e to be known to anybody except b.c.d.e, except as an optimization. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi
