        Couple of things:

        Virtual domains are available such that www.apo.org could actually
be on another person's machine and appear to be it's own to most people
on the net.

        Since it is a non-profit organization, I can think of two ISPs
would would be happy to do secondary DNS if not PRIMARY.

        If you want more information, e-mail me.
