Hi Rob,

Maybe this will help:  I've considered two scopes for naming, one inside
the OpenShift cluster, one outside.

The outside names indeed point to the OpenShift Routers (and optionally
Registy and Master.)  This has been implemented as a catch-all domain (*.
apps.example.com) and possibly access to the Masters and Registry.  The
inside names include the above, and also the Nodes.  That DNS server would
likely only exist within the OpenShift cluster, and is implemented with
dnsmasq.. which leads me to...

Is everything going to be deployed in OpenStack?  If so, do check out
https://github.com/redhat-openstack/openshift-on-openstack

I've got it already doing some fairly complex automated installs on my rack
of gear here at Dell.

HTH,
