WaWhat about creating a domain under the top level NET domain,
NIC.NET  in there could be the name DDN.NIC.NET for
the DDN NIC......  NYSER.NIC.NET for their NIC....
This also works for the NOC.... ARPANET.NOC.NET  MILNET.NOC.NET
etc.  The NIC/NOC for the NSFNET is called NNSC for some reason,
so NSFNET.NNSC.NET is also possible.
