	Ok, in local-host-names I've already got:
	^ethic
	^foobar
	^plato
	^tao

	neatly packed in.  Just the local host names.  (Gee!)

	Here is what I *had*, last attempt:

thought.org.   IN       MX      1 ethic.thought.org
thought.org.   IN       MX      1 foobar.thought.org
thought.org.   IN       MX      1 plato.thought.org
thought.org.    IN      MX       5 tao.thought.org.

	Do I need to list my internal IP's in the "IN A" address 
	records?  ethic is 10.244, tao is 10.247, &c.
