*sigh*
I see that I really should have given a 2nd thought before hitting send.
All my nodes keep their nodenames ok. Even as IP changes. I can ref all
nodes by node name or IP equally well. Dig and nslookup act as expected.
This is a result of taking advantage of the client's ability to keep its
nodename in the configuration and that overrides my IPCop nodename that
would be generated. So, I'll post in a few more moments what my configs
look like.
