non-9front dhcp server -> /lib/ndb/local ignored?

[sl@stanleylieber.com]

At my job we have a free wifi access point that I connect
to from 9front like this:

	; ip/ipconfig	# NOTE: DHCP server is not Plan 9.

This gets me on the Internet. Everything works.

Except, values configured in /lib/ndb/local all seem to
be ignored. No sys= or auth= entries are recognized. In
order to successfully cpu/import remote Plan 9 machines,
I have to manually add auth= authdom= entries for the
corresponding auth servers in /net/ndb, and then refer
to them by the FQDNs.

At home, I use an identical /lib/ndb/local. All home
machines either PXE or TCP boot from the same file
server where the ndb file is stored. All of these
machines can successfully refer to local sys= entries,
even those that are in separate ipnets.

From all of this, it seems like Plan 9 machines that get
DHCP from a non-Plan 9 machine ignore /lib/ndb/local.

What's going on?
