I do not see why this would be forbidden, however I think it would be a
good idea to let gentoo.somedomainname.com resolv to the same IP as
ns.somedomainname.com. Or better, ns be a pointer to gentoo (if that is
possible, I'm not sure here). It is for clarity and - well, this one is
crazy, but it IMO adds to the computer's "personality" and the computer
deserves a proper name.

With regards.
