Is the server mentioned in the MNAME field of the SOA?

If so, the clients are saying "hm, I want to register my name. What zone
is it in? Ah, mycompany.com! OK, I'll look up the SOA for mycompany.com,
and go update my name with the server mentioned in the MNAME field..."

Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue...
