I think you lose the plot here at this point Patrick. The simple fact is, whenever we sent one of our clients to the domainz site to allow them to hunt for a suitable domain, we _always_ have to say "that's domainz with a "z" at the end, not an "s". Everytime without fail. One of the important factors in choosing a domain name (or an email address) is that it can't be easily confused with something that is more obvious when you speak the domain name. Thus both "domainz" is a stupid choice for an important web site, and "4service" is a stupid choice for an important email contact address as _b0th_ 0f them need explaining to the un-initiated. If you don't spell it out, they try to go to domains.net.nz and send email for forservice(a)domains.net.nz If you total up the amount of extra help desk time taken up because of the above, you will probably be surprised. I'd prefer it if you kept to KISS principals. How about adding A and MX records to the domains.net.nz zone so those poor unfortunates than can spell correctly get taken to the D0mainz site anyway?
