Stupid question time: is it okay if I just use one of these addresses?
I am supposed to be allowed lots of DNS entries, but some of the
places I want to configure this only allow two entries.

My e-mails to Rogers Business support have apparently not been that
magical. In fact, my latest e-mail was ignored entirely. 

What I can't figure out is why Rogers is not getting bitten by
unpatched DNS servers, etc. in a big way. I keep wanting to believe
that they really do know what they are doing, because otherwise some
big customer is going to sue their pants off. That's what Bill R tells
me, anyways -- and I want to believe him, because it means I wouldn't
need to worry about this garbage that is supposed to Just Work.
