One of the webster servers lost a disk on friday.  The server that lost the
disk has been removed from the list of servers in hesiod, however server
location information can remain cached for a while on the local machine.

In message <199603312027.PAA13676@chavez-ravine.mit.edu> you write:

>The webster servers have failed to answer the request to look up your word.
