Say we have a bunch of redhat boxes.  Many are used as servers, some are
not.  What sort of things should we expect to go wrong if we take all of
the foo.ece.uci.edu A's and PTR's, change them to foo.eecs.uci.edu A's
and PTR's, and give them all a foo.ece.uci.edu CNAME - all without
changing the machine's internal idea of its hostname?

Yeah, I believe we need to concern ourselves with ending up with MX's to
CNAME's, or at least at one time I believe we did.

The first things that come to mind are mailing list subscriptions, web
server stuff that involves ssl certificates, possibly web server virtual
hosting, and ssh servers.  Oh, and NFS exports.  Ah, IP-based web
authentication too.

Are you aware of any other things on unix/linux that might have problems
if such a renaming is done?
