Yes, but why is that a problem? Again, in architectural terms, you are
limiting the scope over which the information (about which appplication is
on which port) has to be spread, to the machine it applies to - always good
when you get that kind of congruence.
It isn't a problem, but it isn't DNS if you do it that way - that was my
only observation.
