I wound up calling Network Solutions to get clarification on this.
This is indeed what they said.  If one is going to be running their
own primary and secondary servers and the domain that these servers
will be under is not yet regiestered, you just fill out the domain
template only.  

:    It may work differently in different domains, then. The above is
:    the information I got from the corresponding form at the .mil NIC.
:    And, yes, I hadn't remembered the host template from non-.mil
:    activity; but I figured things were changing.

:    Sorry, I should have added that caveat.

: I was only referring to domains registered at internic.net, now
: networksolutions.com (i.e. .com, .org, .net, and .edu domains). That
: seemed to be what the original poster was asking about.

Yup, that was all I was interested in.
