Right. I think it's code for "I think domain means website, and our technical folks said our existing corp site didn't have the capacity, so we told them to setup a 'completely separate site'".

Also maybe "Our marketing folks want all the angry links to point to a separate domain we don't care aboout vs. our main web site"
