I need to do NAD requests for users in our campus domain:
 
   [log in to unmask]
 
UAKRON.EDU is properly registered with the Internet and DOMAIN NAMES.
And I am the NAD for AKRONVM (alias VM1.CC.UAKRON.EDU and AKRONVM.UAKRON.EDU).
 
However, if I try to do anything like:  FOR [log in to unmask] Query *
I get two different replies:
 
1. If I use:  TELL LISTSERV FOR [log in to unmask] Query *
   the user is notified as the mail included below shows.
   But, no messages come to my VM console.

2. If I send a Listserv Job to do the FOR campus_address Query *
   The following mail response comes to my VM reader:

   You are not a registered NAD (Node Administrator)
   for  node VAX1.CC.UAKRON.EDU.  The  NAD for  node
   VAX1.CC.UAKRON.EDU is [log in to unmask]

Neither one is exactly what I expected to return to me.
I'm not sure what to make of this.  A single NAD for all of the UAKRON.EDU
domain was what I expected. Now it seems that a NAD of NADs is what I need(?),
plus sub-NADs for MATH.UAKRON.EDU, CC.UAKRON.EDU, etc., plus sub-NADs
for each subdomain beneath that.  It does seem reasonable in one sense and
quite unreasonable in another.
 
Well back on earth ;-), since LISTSERV checks DOMAIN NAMES for valid domain
addresses already, what about the NAD for a whole domain as per DOMAIN NAMES:
 
   :nick..UAKRON.EDU :gatemast.SPONSELL@AKRONVM
 
where gatemast value gives NAD for that domain?
 
Breaking new ground is not what I'm looking for...
