Concerning the routing of RYERSON.CA thru CANADA01:
 
     I believe that LISTSERV uses DOMAIN NAMES to locate the closest
server for a domain style address.   The DOMAIN NAMES circulated thru
BITNET and EARN only identifies the .CA (ie RYERSON.CA is not in that
table) as being routed through CANADA01.
 
     HOWEVER, in NetNorth, sites should be using the file CADOMAIN
NAMES which is similar to DOMAIN NAMES but has the registered second
level domain names for .CA added.  This file specifies that RYERSON.CA
is routed thru' RYERSON node.
 
   Steve (and other LISTSERV postmasters in NETNORTH) you must provide
LISTSERV the CADOMAIN NAMES file, named as DOMAIN NAMES so the
proper internal NetNorth routing is obtained.
