	zctl appears to have a hard coded list of zephyr servers to switch to
	when you request to switch servers. 

Not hard-coded, but only retrieved from Hesiod once.
If you reboot the workstation, osiris should disappear from the list.

	It does not appear to check to see
	if the machine is running a zephyr before switching. 

The only way it can currently check this is to try it!  It does time out
and find another server, though, so all is not lost.

	zstat does not even list
	osiris as a zephyr server. 
This is because osiris isn't a zephyr server currently.  hesiod doesn't
currently list osiris under "zephyr.sloc".
