Summary: 

Ok, now I'm totally confused. Mark - please help a novice net person
learn the ways of a master ("you are not a Jedi yet...").

	1. What do I read to learn about "domains" and how it affects me

	2. Is UUCP really an official domain (I've heard it's not)

	3. How does my local 5 machine ethernet net (wow!) fit in to
	   this, and should I really have it set up as an ARPA domain
	   internally (all internal mail says "user@host.ARPA")

	4. If internally the net should not be .ARPA, can I make up a name
	   like .GCC ? does .LOCAL exist ?

These may sound like like stupid questions, but hopefully others also
share my confusion. One standard set of answers might bring us all in line.

Thanks again.
