Yep, they work just fine. Plus, we're going to see a LOT more of them as
more sites start using MS Active Directory, as it uses them.
As soon as OpenAFS starts supporting the AFS ones (either AFSDB or some
TXT record equivalent), I'd like to see more of that used as well, as it
will eliminate the need for alot of the CellServDB nonsense.
