Maybe making a DNS-based database support work with Hesiod would
be a nice idea. I can do it, if anyone cares. We use Hesiod to
distribute our passwd, group, services, amd maps, and other dbs,
so it would be possible to distribute the alias file via Hesiod,
although it's very unlikely that we'll do it in the near future.
So, anybody wants Hesiod support?

Hey, I was almost right!
