Yes, what you saw is correct.  You can have the same zone name show up
anywhere you want on your network, regardless of the underlying network
number of the segment it is wrong.

This works for LocalTalk, too, not just Ethernet or Phase II.

There is _no_ one-to-one mapping of network number and zone name.  The
two concepts are completely independent of each other.
