:while it is ugly, and I'd rather die than generate such an address, the

:if it generated it, it must be able to handle it.
Assumption valid, in an RFC Internet universe.
Everything to the left should be resolved by "domain".
Assumption NOT valid in a UUCP universe.
Everything to the right of "something" could get resolved by
"something".
The initial poster got this address from (as I recall) "a Sun so it
must be right". I never said that these addresses were invalid, just
that they tended to cause problems.
