[Lustre-discuss] mounting via cname

[Robert Olson]

There's someone here pushing for the cnames to apparently keep away  
from per-client configs; I figure that if we go changing IP addresses  
we've got a bear to deal with anyway. (And we'll be renumbering later  
this summer when we move our machine room to a new building -- lustre  
client mounts will be the least of our concerns...)
