Newbie question

The downside, of course, being that now *every* shortname, including 
mistyped ones, gets an additional lookup with "mynet.de" appended to it. 
Add more search domains, create more DNS waste (and query latency). Go 
several subdomain levels deep and turn on "devolution" on the clients, 
and you can create *several*times* more waste and latency. It's best to 
nip this shortname "convenience" in the bud before it becomes a monster, 
or at least set limits (e.g. one default domain per client is OK, but 
searchlists and devolution are no-no's).
