Sounds like a very good idea to me. Let's see, looking in the u.usa.ma.?
map files we find:

------------------
#N	.adelie.com, adelie
#F	harvard.edu
.....
------------------
#N	.alliant.com, alliant
#F	eddie.mit.edu
.....
------------------
#N	aoa
#S	VAX 8650; Ultrix 2.0
#F	bbn.bbn.com
.....
------------------
#N	.applicon.com, applicon
#F	eddie.mit.edu
.....
------------------
#N	atexnet
#F	kodak.com
.....
------------------

And this is just the 'a's. For something that doesn't exist there sure as
hell are a lot of them out there :-)
