The realm processing stuff in the hesiod in 5.5 -> 6.0B releases doesn't
work. I reported it and submitted a fix for it in February, but because
the hesiod people were busy trying to integrate hesiod into the newest
version of bind, the athena release version of hesiod never got fixed.
I believe, however, that the realm stuff was fixed in the distribution
versions of hesiod; it just hasn't hit our internal release yet.
(Probably because we don't use it, so it hasn't been high on anyone's
priority list.)

P.S. If you *really* want to use hesiodized realms, feel free to grab
the stuff in /mit/tytso/hesiod. Of course, no guarantees whether it
works or not, but you might want to give it a try. Note that all
clients have to be linked with the modified hesiod library, so it
probably isn't worth it.
