<blush>  a friend "suggested" i be clearer.  :)

i run a publication server.  a half dozen CAs publish there.  only one
of the CAs has a domain name related to that of the publication server.

and having to futz around with the dns would be a non-useful pita while
provisioning.

to be clear, this stuff has nothing to do with bgp or the dns, unlike
92.3% of the rest of the internet :)
