If the blacklist specification is visible and not hidden in some new magic file, I think that would be good. My suggestion would be to add the possibility to specify this in CellServDB. >git BLACKLIST or something like that. Because then anyone who wants a cell named "git" (you never know the users' wishes) would see this when looking through CellServDB to determine why it does not work as expected. I am normally not for blacklists, but what can you do? But wait a moment... Can't we assume that all cell names that we ask in DNS contain at least one dot "." in the middle? I doubt that there are AFS cells named without dot that we need to resolve with DNS. What do you think about that?
