I do agree very strongly with what David is saying here.

If each machine looks like site.indent.priv.au,  then what do we really save
over registering machines as site.priv.au.  Isn't a seperate MX still required 
for each site?

The other subdomains of .au haven't been divided up like this.  Companies
are all thrown into the .com.au domain, organisations are all thrown
into the .org.au domain, so why do we need to treat .priv.au as a seperate
case?  I would suggest that we are likely to get more sub domains of the
.com.au domain than of the .priv.au domain, each needing a seperate MX as
will be the case in the .priv.au domain.  So why treat different sub domains
differently?

My thoughts on the subdomain I vote on the .gen.au proposal, and would like 
to lay claim to pos.gen.au, not that I can tell you how to route without 
using AARNet.  Actually yes I can, you can route mail to pos.gen.au via
Anonymous UUCP. :-)
