Nope, using ``ThisDomain: *'' just means to use the (fully-qualified)
workstation name as ThisDomain, which in most cases is the default
action.  (It's certainly the case without AFS.)  There's this additional
layer, though, in the GetHostDomainName() function (in
overhead/util/lib/hname.c) that tries to derive the fully-qualified
workstation name by combining the results from gethostname(),
AndrewSetup value ThisDomainSuffix, and (under GETDOMAIN_ENV)
getdomainname().
