However we noticed that even mailserver farms are named as braindamaged

    mail-[0-9][0-9].iinet.net.au
instead of
    host[0-9][09-].mail.iinet.net.au

Because when you are an admin inside the organisation you'll use only
the hostname and not the FQDN most of the time. And you don't want to
ask yourself all the time whether "host165" is "host165.mail" or
"host165.web" or whatever (which depends on how your resolver is configured).
