Thanks for pointing that out.  DNS is very simple in concept and very
complicated in implementation.  A lot of people just take for granted
that it works.  Mess it up and *nothing* works ;/

As to the dot.  DNS is uniform.  *Every* domain name, top-level or
otherwise, and every subdomain name, no matter how deep, is followed by
a dot.
