The lines on  CEARNV2 got moved to  CEARN and the node  was deleted. Such
entries must, unfortunately, remain on the  LINKSWT FILE for a long time,
because many  sites do  not have  up to date  BITEARN NODES  files. Since
these sites do generate DIST2 jobs, it is not only their problem but that
of the net as a whole: all it  takes is a couple of high-volume lists, an
outdated  BITEARN NODES  and a  LINKSWT FILE  without provision  for such
files to generate hundreds of distribute jobs a day along the wrong path.
The file  you have  has entries for  both CEARN and  CEARNV2, so  that it
works  with both  current and  outdated files.  Eventually I  remove such
entries to trim the file.
