	Hi Y'all,

	I've been wondring if there is a way of tweaking sendmail
	to send mail from the outside to my internal//private hosts--
	with the same username and the FQDN.

	E.g.:  Outside thought.org, "root@tao.thought.org" bounces
	while "root@ns1.thought.org" is recognized because 
	ns1.thought.org is 216.231.43.140.   Likewise with mail
	to "root@ethic.thought.org" or "root@plato.thought.org".

	Anybody know what magic incantations are necessary to make
	my mail server aware of my internal hosts??  If this is a
	DNS matter, I didn't catch it in DNS AND BIND (4th ed).

	thanks in advance,

	gary
