    How do I force a machine to have a particular IP address? Perhaps a force
    flag should be added that is only permitted to be used by someone on the
    query ACL?

Moira only provides a default, and as long as the address the user gives is
in the acceptable range on the correct network, it should accept it.


   Can we override the name sanity check. I believe we currently have a few
   ( :-( ) "illegal" names in the current MIT host table. 

We were planning on falling back to hstath.txt for these few cases. It's a
lot easier (at least for some of us) then dealing with ingres.
