  .int?  I take it some people are using that for "internal"?  Heh.  I
guess people have forgotten <int.> is a "real" top-level domain name.
It is used for international organizations.  Try http://www.nato.int/
to see it in action.

  This is why I recommend using a registered domain name, owned by the
organization, for all but the smallest of networks.  Better to avoid
the possibility of a name collision, even if it is remote.  You can
use a subdomain (corp.example.com) or a separate 2LD (example.com and
example.net), but follow DNS specifications and best practices.

  Of course, then you have the problem of corporate divestitures...
