  I have to agree with Vint here, Jamie.  Separating IP and Protocol
related issues from DNS issues in many instances is not really
a good idea.  Vint pointed out some of the reasons why above,
quite nicely.  Well done here Vint!  >;)  The IP numbering
and IP allocation as well as use, and Protocol's have a direct
impact on the DNS.  If however you are just referring to
Naming issues, Jamie, than yes that part could be separated
out from the ASO and PSO to a very great degree.  Is that
what you were referring to in your comments Jamie?
