>Description:
The example IP address in definitions.texinfo was 18.72.0.44
(maple.mit.edu). I don't think we really want to be giving the idea
that people should use our SAP servers as example targets.
Also, the example alternate domain is fubar.org. Unfortunately,
fubar.org is assigned to someone, and I doubt we asked for permission.
I think there were other problems in definitions.tex; one of
the sample IPs looked like a multicast address, etc.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I changed 18.72.0.44 to 10.0.0.6 as a stopgap until someone
who actually knows what the recommended solution for example domains
and IPs looks at the document. (I'm cc:ing jhawk because I believe he
had a good answer to this type of problem the last time someone asked
him.)
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
We need to be careful what example address we use.
