domain name

[John.Ackermann@Dayton.NCR.COM <jra@lawday.Dayton.NCR.COM>]

We're getting a uucp newsfeed to the unix system that will interconnect
with our local tcp/ip packet network.  Our newsfeed wants us to
register as a subdomain of the "dayton.oh.us" geographical domain,
rather than as a subsidiary machine under their edu umbrella.

Since our hope is to provide a gateway between the packet community and
the rest of the networked world, is a domain name like:

"packet.dayton.oh.us"

a wise choice?  Has there been any attempt at standardizing this sort of
thing?
