	Bill you know better than that.  They are sub-domains 
	of thecomputercorner.com.  NS record define zone cuts and
	hence sub-zones which are also sub-domains.  All domain names
	are sub-domains of some other domain with the exception of the
	root.
 
	Billy, mysql, secure, freemail etc. are as much hostnames as
	www, ftp, mail or thecomputercorner.com.  Having them commented
	differently will cause confusion.
