One thing I forgot to mention is that in the future, these may change.
Like if they wanted to point www.muohio.edu at Scully.cas.muohio.edu they
could.  If they wanted the SMTP mailer to point to ns1.oar.net, all they
have to do is change an address in the DNS.  And one day po.muohio.edu
might point to 127.0.0.1, that would confuse most people. ;)
