The UK domain registration is split into 3 primary domains, ac (academic),
co (commercial), and mod (military). There are a couple of other minor
domains as well. Of the primary UK domains AC is routed via nsfnet-relay,
the MOD are on a circuit of their own, and by default all the CO domain
point at uunet and so ukc. The routings and the registrations are handled
by the UK Name Registration Scheme. MX records should route correctly for
the entire UK domain.
