  That is not a compromise.  Anybody can set up ***SUB*** domains
containing any legal characters.  E.g. I could easily set up
GOOGLE.COM.WALTDNES.ORG which is *NOT* the same as
GOOGLE.COM/WALTDNES.ORG

  Notice the slash and the dot?  Question; is there a way to search for
the end of the name?  Something equivalant to regex "GOOGLE.COM$"
