Yes, I never knew about this format until you mentioned it here.  Keen to know
more.  It's not in any of my examples.

What's involved in setting the lookup service up?  I can register and
administer domains (have done for years, though in this case, it would be a
subdomain of an existing domain), and I recently started an othernet, so I
would be interested in what I'd need to do to setup the service for my net.
