In the documentation for the CellServDB file (both client & server)
https://docs.openafs.org/Reference/5/CellServDB.html
it is declared that is the "fully qualified hostname"
that must be provided in the line defining a dbserver.
So even if a dbserver has an alias in the DNS different from the
hostname, it is definitely the hostname that must be provided in the
CellServDB line.
Have I well understood?
So reading the CellServDB file OpenAFS considers that at a given IP
address it will find the hostname defined in the CellServDB file line.
(by the way: we do not have AFSDB records in our DNS)
