Soft link names are used to map synonyms to their respective node names. The normal default value for the synonym mapping directory in the DECdns directory service is: .DNA_NodeSynonym The default directory name can be changed using the preferences form. This directory contains the actual soft link names. The name structure is: .DNA_NodeSynonym.<synonym> Where: <synonym> is the Phase IV synonym name. For example, for the synonym "MYSYN", the fully specified soft link name is: .DNA_NodeSynonym.MYSYN
