I can verify that I'm correct. Without the "." the default origin (or another origin if you've defined one) is appended to the name. So unless he's trying to give integral.on.ca.integral.on.ca an address, he needs a "." That's why you can have records like: www A 24.112.14.35 Since there's no dot, the domain gets appended to the www.
