Purely because these are the proposed names for each of these servers in
our staging environment.

Keeping them all under *.dev.lcip.org means we can re-use our existing
wildcard ssl certificate across all the machines.

The "-accounts" suffix is superfluous on our nicely isolated dev domain,
but I'm a big fan of consistency.  So if that's how they'll be named in
the staging environment, I think it makes sense to mirror that here.

But if folks hate it, do speak up.
