Problems with "multiple domains" can be solved by software in
comparison with multiple phone books. Of course, in reasonable limits.
I do NOT like multiple domains in DNS, but it is seemed that the introduction
of new domains for private property names of companies (like trademarks)
is necessary. And we can adjust DNS search engine to do handle with multiple
domains invisible for client-server application. One exmaple - if we put
new domains in reasonable tree and make limited search from leaves to root.
