DECdns serves a similar purpose to the real DNS, except it's
specifically for resolving DECnet node names to node addresses. I
could've just done a network COPY from MIM of the nodedb and hand
processed it into my LOCAL: domain, but I figured since Jordi was
already running a DECdns server for a few years, it's much simpler to
just point to him rather than having to manually update a local domain
from a remote file. :)

Is anyone maintaining an up-to-date DECdns server based off of Johnny's
nodedb?
I've recently set up an emulated VAX (simh) at 61.152 called ENKIDU,
running OpenVMS 7.3. I was hoping to use DECdns for simple node name
resolution. In the interim I'm using Jordi's DECdns server (which he
mentioned a while ago), but it doesn't appear to be as up to date with
the official nodedb as I'd like. :)
Thanks,
Mark
