I will fix that up.  There is no good reason to try and preserve the
hostname, unless of course it happens to be the same.  The only trick
would be to demote any other DC accounts in the domain, so we do not
even try to mix s3 and s4 DCs.  (Unlike windows, we do not support the
technologies that allowed NT4/2000 mixes)
