True . . .but I'm wondering about the "personal domain option" that  
Dot Mac has now along with the option in iWeb 08 to specify a domain.  
That way you don't need the homepage.mac.com part because you've  
specified in Dot Mac that they are to host domain_name.net and then  
set the DNS entry for domain_name.net to point to homepage.mac.com.

Once you set the Dot Mac personal domain preference, it tell you what  
to point the DNS to and it's a generic thing not domain specific. My  
impression is that internally Dot Mac points domain_name.net to some  
path on the appropriate iDisk. Their documentation for using this  
feature says that it requires iWeb 08 . . . but if my surmise is  
correct then it would just be a matter of creating the 'correct'  
structure on the iDisk and then setting the Dot Mac preference and DNS.
