I aggree, this seems like the perfect time to 'un-overload' this one
configuration point.

Even though we usually only had 2 or 3 out of the 4 in use at any one
time, I've never administered a site where any of those 'domains' were
named the same.

As Richard mentions, 'un-overloading' also has the added benefit of
allowing them to be located with the service they affect.
