You got the answer, i.e., csquery uses a full path network!host!service.
If you want to resolve any of the meta  names with ndb/csquery, just
tack on a service.

If you think there's something else I should be doing, suggest it.

Hi,

How are meta names (in this case $smtp) resolved in plan9?
I kinda expected ndb/csquery to accept names of the form
net!$smtp but it doesn't.

I want to expand a metaname into a FQDN in c. Specificialy I specify my
smtp relay in my /lib/ndb/local, however, if I do this factotum
is passed server=$smtp which isn't helpfull in chosing which key to
provide.

-Steve
