I would hope this wouldn't be allowed; old resolvers have/had a bug
whereby if your local domain was set to e.g. "dublin.blah.ie", and you
tried to resolve "netscape.com", the resolver would search:

  netscape.com.dublin.blah.ie
  netscape.com.blah.ie
  netscape.com.ie		<<note!
  netscape.com

Security/spoofing implications are left to the reader ;)
