 *    Can we please drop the possibility of allowing IP numbers here?
 *    If one of the secondaries of your domain changes IP number, then
 *    he has the nearly impossible task of finding all these outdated
 *    references. Bind only allows hostnames here; I think it is a good
 *    idea to restrict the database in the same way.
 *    
 * => IP numbers were allowed in the previous template then we need
 * a general agreement before dropping this possibility...

Perhaps we should try and completely overhaul the domain object? Why
would we go for small changes when we may need major changes?

 * => there is a loose binding between names and addresses.
 * This attribute can be used if someone'd like to describe it.
 * This attribute has been made optional then you use it only
 * if you like.

Hmm, personally I'd bin the attribute.....
