Well, what you describe isn't exactly what I was proposing, but I'm not
picky and what you describe seems like it could work okay and might even be
easier (dare I hope trivial?) to implement...
Cheers,

I think someone mentioned an exclude list as a possible solution to this
problem.
What about an include list instead (or in addition to the exclude list)?
I don't think you are asking for an include list but a configuration
option to disable lookups for unknown cells and cell aliases.
The search order is as follows:
1. if a cell alias exists, use the specified cell name
2. search the CellServDB. If found and a server list is present,
use it.
3. If no server list was found in CellServDB and afsdb lookups are
enabled, use DNS SRV/AFSDB records to try to find a match.
At the present time DNS SRV/AFSDB queries permit the use of domain
search lists by the resolver in order to support automatic discovery
of cell aliases.
I believe that what you are asking for is not an include list but an
option to only perform DNS SRV/AFSDB queries for entries that exist in
the CellServDB without a server list.
