=46rom a domain name typed into a configuration panel on the home =
gateway, updated in the same manner (find the zone cut, find the MNAME, =
send a DNS UPDATE)?
Presumably if a domain name is not specified, no DNS UPDATEs occur.
I'm not commenting on the need or proper desire to have matching =

that the mechanism Mark described seems plausible.
