Hosting multiple TLDs

[Michele Chubirka]

Yeah, I know it was a stupid question, but other members of our staff
brought up the issue. I laughed and said "isn't that how DNS is SUPPOSED
to work?! Why would there be such a prohibition?" I even called
Educause, just to make these people shut up.

Never heard of such a prohibition.  We about 100 .edu domains and
thousands
of .com and .org domains.  Many of our university customers host their
own
..edu DNS, and quite a few also host .com and .org domains.

For instance, Amherst College hosts both fivecolleges.edu and
fivecolleges.org.
