I didn't attend the LDT session but agree with the needs and
conclusions mentioned here by Mike Dorman.

It's important for us to be able to control the data path of our
internal servers and overriding the URLs is the method we are
currently using. You could do split view DNS but we prefer being
explicit (different URLs) over implicit. It ends up being much easier
for new comers to debug as they don't have to know about split view
DNS.
