$INCLUDE

[Stephens, Bill]

	Supporting over 300 field sites, with 3-7 servers per site + routers
+ hosts + mission critical workstations for just my division.  We use
dynamic where possible, but have made a conciencus decision to have servers
and routers statically assigned.

	You could theoretically use resolver sortlists for this. But they're
evil, so
	don't.

	Why are your users typing in hostnames anyway? This is the age of
	bookmarks/hyperlinks/portals/search-engines/agents/etc.; physically
typing in a
	hostname should be a rare event for a regular user...
