> To clarify.  When using dynroot on Unix or freelance on Windows,

To further clarify - whilst what Jeffrey has outlined is correct for Windows, 
it misses some essential details for Unix.

On Unix 'dynroot' populates the local root.afs with all of the entries known to 
the cache manager (these may be entries in CellServDB, or ones added with fs 
newcell). This list is permanently populated, so ls /afs/ will list all of the 
cells in your CellServDB.

The DNS is only used to lookup unknown cells if the -afsdb option is specified 
when starting afsd. Despite the name, this controls the use of both AFSDB and 
SRV records.

Cheers,

Simon.
