    No, just that host, not the domain.  smtp.rpglink.com is a host on my
domain.  rpglink.com is my domain.  rpglink.com is /also/ a host in my domain.

    The distinction is that if you put in a hosts entry for smtp.rpglink.com
and I change the DNS for that name, you can still reach the other hosts in
rpglink.com.  ;)
