Right, but be aware that, as *undelegated* subzones, any given resolver 
will be unable to resolve these unless it is explicitly configured to 
know about them. This implies defining each one as 
master/slave/stub/forward on each caching nameserver/resolver that needs 
resolution of them.

                                                                         
                                                                  - Kevin
