It would seem that you want to have alternate names for an object. That is, you want the name of a company as shown in their brochures, plus the name they registered under, plus the category they placed themselves in (or were told to be in). This can probably be done with CNAME RRs, but the issue is really WHAT IS A NAME? What if you don't know the spelling correctly? You heard it over the phone or on a bus...will Soundex be useful for finding how they registered? It still doesn't get at the top level domain or at companies whose "holding company" doesn't ring a bell (Beatrice), but their brand- recognition division does (some company ?Nabisco? under Beatrice). Now the problem is perhaps buried another layer deep (nabisco.beatrice.com), further complicating the process. I don't know an answer, but it's not clear we understand the question, yet. Walt
