How do you ensure that the client understands that one name is "masquerading"
for another? Don't you run the risk of having two or more trees--one for
the "real" suffix and one for each "masquerading" suffix? Or do you swap
out the "masquerading" suffixes? If so, "masquerading" is probably a better
description.
