Different results for the same lookup

The big downside of "view"s, of course, being that you need to maintain 
all of your DNS in parallel.

In many cases, "view"s are overkill. Intelligently-implemented sortlists 
are sometimes a more maintainable alternative (although they require 
close co-ordination too).

                                                                         
                                       - Kevin
