Well, that's an interesting thought. A domain, to me, means where 
the DNS of the world goes looking for my server. I'm self taught 
(from O'Reilly books, etc.) on Linux, and I've had next to nothing 
to do with MicroSoft anything. A domain is quite important to a server 
on the 'Net -- it never occurred to me that it meant something else in 
the MS world.

To me, the one I rent from my registrar. Or one of the virtuals I host -- 
wherever DNS is trying to go.

Thanks for the info...
