Our CellServDB is based on the transarc list of public cells....I am loathe to
try to edit individual entries for those cells so that one server does not
timeout.
On the other hand....completely eliminating cells which do not respond at all,
would probably not be a bad idea.
afsreq: we could maintain a list of cells that are known not to work and have
those entries filtered when we grad a new transarc CSDB.

I was going to sumarily nuke these, since an entry in root.afs is useless
without a CSDB entry, but I in fact found CSDB entries for all of them in
/afs/athena/service/CellServDB (which workstations should periodicly
grab). What CSDB were you looking at on what machines?
