ACK. And to show up an example to the 'Non-Belivers' :-):

http://qwertzuiop.zentrumderarbeit.org/test.php

Looks _really_ wired, but it works. :-)
And guess what ... albeit there's nowhere 'mail.' in that name one
could even deliver mail to this address:

qwertzuiop.zentrumderarbeit.org

:-)))
So what to keep in mind? That's Simple :-)
"Everything _in front_ of the second period, counted from ending of
hostname, don'T has _any_ meaning, except the one of making 'life
easier' for human beings when trying to remember that URL :-)
Whatever is written there does not even decide if this is a web
server, a mail server, FTP or whatever :-)

The relevant part is in front of '://', as THIS decides what
application tries to make sense of the bytes located there :-)

Everybody is equal here. It's just some people are more equal than
others.
