Argh!  We have wireless.org.au - let's use that and stay within the global
collective hallucination that is the DNS.  This way DNS names are
guaranteed to be globally unique, resolvable [and the same way] from
anywhere on the global network (_including_ our little bit of wireless
MAN).

I am very happy to provide DNS services for people if that is in any way
useful.  If someone feels like delegating me a bit of wireless.org.au I'll
happily manage it and give sub-bits to other people as appropriate.

And I don't want to hear complaints about "wireless.org.au" being too much
to type.  That's why DNS search paths were invented.

Adrian.
