Hi Kris,

My 2c: the hostname lookup form hasn't worked in years.  I think we 
should remove all references to it.

Perhaps we can replace the form with a page which explains how to 
figure out if a specific hostname is already taken.  The HD has a web 
page with some info on this topic: 
<http://mit.edu/helpdesk/ipaddr.html>, under "Available Hostnames".

It would be nice to have that kind information in a more logical 
place, such as /is/help/network/.  If you're interested, let me know 
and I'll send you a draft.  (The text in /helpdesk/ipaddr.html could 
use some updating, otherwise I'd say just grab that text and use it.)

Cheers,
Chris
