This may not be a problem, but I can't tell for sure: It isn't obvious
that the planned structure and queries will correctly handle the name
record for my workstation, {name = NE43-513-2.MIT.EDU; IP = 18.26.0.35}.
The problem arises because subnet 18.26 is managed by LCS, except for
this one address, which is in the MIT.EDU domain. So Moira needs to be
able to construct an authoritative name record for a subnet that isn't
otherwise in its database.
You may want to investigate how the present machinery handles this
exception.
