if you have NT 4, you should be aware that the stupid things will 
_truncate_ this name to NPS, because it sees the "." and says, "oh, this 
is a DNS name.  if i have a DNS name, the _real_ NetBIOS name i must look 
up is the first part."

you will probably also see DNS lookups for nps and for nps.staff.  which 
probably go out on the internet.

[have you seen that report on NTbugtraq about microsoft systems causing 
DNS lookups for workgroup.com etc?]
