A bootup script problem on NS2, the other server here, which caused it
to boot with both 63.224.10.73 *and* 63.224.10.74 (the second is GW in
normal service) enabled (event hough .74 had ONBOOT=no set).  That,
combined with two levels of ethernet switches, combined with NS2 being
the primary MX, caused some messages to loop and duplicate.  I think.

So far so good.  I'm going to switch the dragaera.info MX back to NS2
now; that'll take a while to propagate and see if anyting happens.
