Don't ever do this! *Never* setup nodes with numbers that you don't
"own". You can potentially break things for others. The fact that you
might not see anything in the nodename database, or not see any nodes
online in one area does not mean that there might not be someone who
"owns" that area, and could at any point bring something online, in
which case your actions can cause disruptions and mess for people.
Dammit. It shouldn't be so hard to adhere to the few rules that there in
on HECnet. It's not like I go crazy with what people can or should do.
I'll respond to your request later today. (With that said, no, actually,
area 40 was not allocated to anyone at the moment, so it was not
potentially disruptive, but the allocation of areas is tracked in
another document I have.)

If there are no objections in the next day or two I'll start to renumber my servers.
