[IDD #ZIL-446337]: aliased domain names

Sounds good..

As long as the alias is returned using a DNS nslookup (both forward and 
reverse) with the IP, no problems should arise.

Sure, we also have a logon to that machine so we can take a peek if you are 
encountering difficulties.

..or you can contact:

Eirh-Yu Hsie    hsie|a_t-s_i_g_n|al.noaa.gov


..but we are happy to work on it with you :)

alias ~should work, if not, we will place sundowner in the ALLOW.
