Because no one has ever had a need to coexist with other DNS servers on 
the same subnet, right?   After all, there should only ever be 1 
authorative source of information, and there's no way we would ever want 
to have an exception for that.

are used specificly for our group's purposes that have to coexist with 
IT-managed servers)
