Well, I went back to check, but none of the RFCs seem to explain what a 
"suffix" is, in the context of DNS. Clearly I haven't been keeping up with new 
developments in the technology. Where can I read about this new object? 

The last time I checked, people using terms like "suffix" in relation to DNS 
were usually MS AD administrators* who were clearly confused by simple concepts 
like domain names. Apparently times have changed, with this term now being used 
legitimately between subject matter experts on a mailing list for dns 
operators. I'm obviously behind again so please advise on how I can recognize a 
suffix in the wild, and distinguish it from a garden-variety old-fashioned 
domain name.

Thanks in advance for the help!

running RFQs for multi-million-dollar ENUM projects.)
