	Yo!  both of you....

	there is and has nearly always  has been ambiguity
	in what is a host name and a domain name.  you provide
	the following:

		foo.example.com

	that looks like three labels that would be registered in
	the DNS.  which of those labels comprise the host name
	and which comprise the domain name?  explain your reasoning
	and justification for your assertions.  (this is a bald-faced
	troll for this list be a very real concern for something like
	namedroppers...)
