That was my first try, until I realized that foo.home.purple.com first
queries ., then .com., then .purple.com. to find .home.purple.com.

But because my home network is a 198.192.0.0/24 network, it would be
highly inappropriate for purple.com to be able to tell people to see
192.168.0.5 for home.purple.com.
