www.thing.host.it

[Kevin Darcy]

There are many ways to do this:

--- example 1 ---
www.xxx    in    a    192.9.0.X
--- end example 1 ---

--- example 2 ---
www.xxx.host.it.    in    a    192.9.0.X
--- end example 2 ---
Note the trailing period -- this is *very* important! Otherwise, the
entry will be interpreted as "www.xxx.host.it.host.it.".

--- example 3 ---
$ORIGIN xxx.host.it.
www    in    a    192.9.0.X
$ORIGIN host.it.
--- end example 3 ---
In this example, the second $ORIGIN is there to prevent subsequent
entries from being misinterpreted.
