(This had better not be a sly attempt to collect a new newbiedoc...)

I have recently inherited a network which was set up with company.com
as the official, registered external domain name and company.net for
the internal systems.  It is not pleasant and even somewhat confusing.
(There are other poor practices in place which make it worse, such as
foo.company.com and foo.company.net sometimes being the same machine
and sometimes not, depending on which machine you're on at the time,
but I digress...)  I am now in the process of migrating the internal
network from company.net to east.company.com and west.company.com.
(Yes, it spans two buildings.  Without subnets.  (Yet.))  I'm finding
it _much_ easier to keep things straight with the new names.

What sorts of complaints is dlint giving you?  So far, I've been keeping
everything on one name server with separate zone files for everything and
it doesn't bother BIND at all.  (I'm having some odd routing problems,
but that doesn't have anything to do with DNS...)
