Well, which NS is in the master file, ns1.hosteddomain.com or ns1.mydomain.com?

Note that if ns1.hosteddomain.com and ns1.mydomain.com resolve to the same
address and ns1.hosteddomain.com is present in the domain delegations, then it
shouldn't really matter which name you use for the nameserver. Is this just for
aesthetic purposes?
