Dear all,

Yasser and I talked about this in passing yesterday that has been 
floating around a bit in offline circles. The "-" in the node name is 
used as a field delimiter in various contexts, and throws us off.

Yasser and I agreed to rename them simply to mvtx{0,1,2,3,4,5} and 
eliminate the problem in the future.

The new DNS entries are in place. I have already changed the hostnames. 
Both old and new names point to the same IP so nothing breaks for now:

> # nslookup mvtx0.sphenix.bnl.gov
> Server:         130.199.1.1
> Address:        130.199.1.1#53
>
> mvtx0.sphenix.bnl.gov   canonical name = mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov.
> Name:   mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov
> Address: 10.20.32.94
>
> # nslookup mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov
> Server:         130.199.1.1
> Address:        130.199.1.1#53
>
> Name:   mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov
> Address: 10.20.32.94

Please go and eliminate the old -flx* from scripts etc.

BTW, in order for all to be consistent, the hostname needs to be just 
the name without the .sphenix.bnl.gov.

Eventually I'll have the old names eradicated completely from the name 
servers.

Best,
        Martin
