Those of you outside .au can read this mutatis mutandis with it 
deleted. A university needs multiple hostnames. As well as 
www.university.edu.au you need -

library.university.edu.au and
opac.university.edu.au

Running everything through the one host name and pretending that 
universities are monolithic institutions like commercial bodies is 
daft. It's a breach of academic freedom to do so.
