Moira lets me add lego as a cname to hesed:
Command: 2
Add a new host alias
Alias Name (Cname): lego
Canonical Host Name: hesed
Command: 1
Get host alias information
Alias Name (Cname): lego
Canonical Host Name: *
Alias: LEGO.MIT.EDU Canonical Name: HESED.MIT.EDU
However, lego.mit.edu is a valid host in moira.
In fact, moira seems to let me add any registered hostname as an
alias . Apparently, once the hosttable update happens, the cname
that is added will supersede the registered hostname.
I'm doing this without dbadmin priviledges.
