The only host information we have in NIS+ is the host information for
our NIS+ clients and for our printers. All the other host information
is in DNS. It doen't make sense to put dns last since that is where
the vast majoriity of the host information is located.

By putting it last I am in effect eliminating it because the only
thing it will be used for is printer information.
