Just to be obnoxious, let me state the ugly obvious programatic mapping...
use the first 2 or 3 letters in the 2nd layer domain name.

cisco.com =        cisco.ci.com
nytimes.com =      nytimes.ny.com
real-routers.com = real-routers.re.com

Since this is a purely implied and programatic mapping, the particularly
-cute- thing we can do is automagicly map this crud so no user ever has
to see the abomonation "cisco.ci.com".

Better yet, hash the 2nd layer domain name.


If we go with this sort of idea at all, for compatibility with older
resolvers, we should keep it a simple mapping.  No hashing.
