That cannot be done as we do not allow CNAME entries. Also, we have
decided to have *.athome.dhs.org and *.dyn.dhs.org -- at least for the
time being. It will probably stay this way, as neither menger or myself
are inclined to entirely recode the nic again after this, although the
way it is being done now it would require much less effort to recode if
we did need to.

NOTE: if we were to get blah.org we would be able to add blah.org as any
type and dyn.blah.org if so inclined without any changes to our
interface, and without interruption in service.
