I have another (sigh) question about domains.  I've been told that
in order to use domains, I would have to register my site with
an Internet site (uunet, for example).  I don't understand this.
Why can't I just add a domain address to my uucp map entry and use
it anyway, without registering?  I realize that mail will not be
able to traverse into the realm of Internet.  But isn't it the eventual goal
to have everyone using domains anyway?  Why can't I just add the entry
to my map (assuming, of course, I don't care about Internet)?  Can
anyone explain this?  Thanx in advance.
