Summary: route != domain

Would everyone PLEASE stop confusing the route of the mail with the
domain name of the site. They are not necessarily related at all. The
worst reason to put personal machines into a geographic domain is to
simplify the routing.

The Best reason to NOT put home machines into a geographic domain is
because people will confuse the route with the machine name.

The routing can be and should be independant of the name of the machine.
