the main thing on linux systems was that DNS lookup stuff changed and IREX
did not come out with an update to fix that... as a result, IREX on *nix
cannot perform DNS lookups on today's *nix systems... that made it a lot
harder for operators because they had to manually look up a node's domain
in the DNS and put the IP number in the IREX record for that node... when
the IP changes, they have to dance that dance again...
