So 'us.510.mail' is an atomic, arbitrary identifier. All three as a unit identify a certain node, and are selected purely for convenience of human operators, right?
I'm just making sure that the network doesn't treat 'us.510.mail' any different than it would treat 'foobar', right?
No, I don't think this is right. mail can be a zone beneath example.com, 510 a zone beneath that and us a hostname.
This host might be aliased to foobar.example.com but it doesn't have to be.
