        It all depends on whether you use them or not.  If you're 
intending to make different changes depending on which subdomains they're 
in, then by all means, define them.  But if you're not intending to do 
them, then don't bother.  Not much of an answer, I know, but hopefully 
it'll point you in the right direction.
