It would be very helpful, e.g. think of a nameserver ns.companyname.com. If
for
some reasons a neutral name should be used, ns.nameservicesforever.com
pointing
to the same IP could be used ... (domainnames not checked, only examples)
... or even a special name for a special domain ns.specialdomain.de again
pointing to that same IP.
