so don't include those maps when you build your pathalias database.
I think they're all in d.Top or what-have-you.  Every site should
probably write their own d.Top file to fit local knowlege of the
world - in many cases it would just be as simple to punt all of 
the official top-level USA domains to your nearest NSFnet gateway,
and all of the official top-level non-USA domains to your nearest
international gateway, probably uunet.
