Actually, if you look carefully, you will notice that BRL is already
registered as a second-level domain (BRL.MIL), and we are hard at
work trying to do the *right thing* in the new context.  This does
not prevent us from having to continue to exist in the current environment
for a few more weeks until we transition to the new version of our
software.

The real problem was not that the MMDF software itself didn't handle
domains properly (it seems to), but instead that one lousy program
which converted the NIC table into some internal tables (used in
lieu of a domain server) was (and still is) somewhat demented.

Looking forward to newer forms of suffering (but at higher levels)
with domain servers...
