Nope. If you leave the . off, then it'll automatically append the domain
name to it (mail becomes mail.djn.net)
However, if you did something like
mail.someotherdomain.com IN A 192.168.1.100
you would need the final ., otherwise it becomes
mail.somerotherdomain.com.djn.net
Why does everyone use 192.168.1.x for a private domain when 10.x.x.x is so
much easier to remember? I've never understood that!
