nothing but afs pings?

Turns out the afs server was in a weird state where it was running, but not
fully serving data.  For some reason, openafs and transarc solaris clients
were mostly ok, but it did effect some other hosts too that read from that 
replicated site.

So it wasn't an arla issue after all, our hosts just happen to have more data
that's replicated on that specific server.

In fact, my question to our afs admins pointed them at the server and helped
them solve the odd afs issues they were seeing on other hosts.

One thing that would've helped, is FileServerPrefs.  I noticed that fs
get/setserverprefs says it's not implemented yet.  Is none of the server
prefs implemented yet?  Our Raleigh site kinda needs that to make sure
their clients talk to their local server, instead of coming across the
pipe to San Diego all the time.
