Granted, *IF* we had to look it up, but we don't. In fact, we use the 
convention
    servername.foo.bar
has nickname
    servername

So, we need to know the server name we are using, and that server name 
is the nickname. So, no confusion and no extra lookup step. (Our server 
names are unique without the domain suffixes, so this works well for us).
