Fair enough.  Perils of working for ISI, I suppose - modern
infrastructure.

Not to argue with someone who's forgotten more about DNS than I know,
but I was able to get it to work from zig.usc.edu as well. On zig (a
Linux box talking to an ambiguously identified "USC Bind 9x" server)
ping needed the trailing dot on hk. to work.  And by "got it to work, I
mean "typed ping".  I also had no trouble on a FreeBSD machine talking
to bind 9.3.3.  It works at home, too, but that's also a 9.4.2 bind.
