Your example has some problems for me. Problems which I guess your question was designed to draw out. Firstly, *some* tor active clients operate by using bump-in-the-stack methods based or analogous to SOCKS. So, there is an API which intervenes on the normal operations and tunnels, and then its

If they nest, then yes. if the x. under onion is hash denoted only for other reasons, but otherwise is a truly encompassing domain, then yes. If it has a SOA. and NS, and there is a clear zonecut, its not just a domain, its a DNS domain. But we know that isn't how its going to work: this is a d

I think its possible I'm arguing off to the side Ed. But, there was a scoping quality in domain, as applied to domain names, which is pretty "big" in my opinion. Its analogous to the ordering issues in fully qualified (relative) distinguished names in X.500. The order of elements of Surname= Given=
