I like domains but I have a complaint about the fact that they
are so ARPANET dependant.  I would like to call this machine
elroy.jpl.nasa.gov and be able to get mail BUT we are not on
the ARPANET but we are government, nasa, jpl, and named elroy
like the name implies but we must use elroy.uucp.
The domains fail on machines that are not on fully connected
networks. There should be some better way of dealing with 
those machines.
