A few things spring to mind:
- Aside from the confusing "who's parent domain?" that someone
else mentioned, it's also rather expensive to do so many lookups.
- There's additional confusion over where to store the object in the
cache (dnsserver would have to pass back the matched name somehow or
otherwise you can get object duplication).
- URLs never contain hostnames ending in '.'.
If you need to test incomplete hostnames aganinst a given domain, you
can use 'append_domain'.
