You can, but it's not proper etiquette to serve ip's in private ranges
to the outside world, as I understand it.

This is also why I don't do the home.purple.com thing, as
home.purple.com would have to delegate to a 192.168 server.

It sounds like there's no way to do the automatic delegation of a few
names. Do folks have scripts, or does everyone just update manually
when something changes? It just feels like a kludge.
