Comment:

 i have changed my mind. i thought: probably this feature of relative
 domains are not used, for example, probably nobody uses domain team1011 ,
 they just use team1011.ourcompany.com. but maybe that was or is used for
 local internet cache when internet is slow. i think that that can be used
 in future in internet if people will live on other planets: assume there
 will be domain "mars." and they will have marsianlocalsite.mars. and earth
 sites will have caches at earth-cache.mars. : somesite.net.earth-
 cache.mars. but they in mars can access it with "somesite.net" in their
 address bar. some sites can be hosted also on mars: "facebook.com.mars."
 (example) and they can also work with "facebook.com" in marsian browser's
 address bar. if wordpress will have feature to be able to be installed in
 several hostings, then it will also can be such way. then my-wp.name.mars
 ./sync-cron-job.php can call/request my-wp.name./sync.php to sync
 comments, posts, etc, and then redirecting should not occur because it
 will go long time to mars just for redirect.
 i knew about this possibility of use in future but i thought it is not
 needed now. but , maybe, somebody can use this feature of dns in countries
 or companies with slow outbound internet to make local cache of internet,
 or somebody can test it to use with space internet.
 as far as i understand it works this way, (example): somedomain.com is
 searched by martian dns server firstly in mars. , then, if not found, in
 earth-cache.mars. , and, if it is somehow denied there, and, for example,
 also denied in "another-earth-cache.mars.", then in ".".
 also i thought that as far as i know browsers even do not query dns for
 domains like team1011, but query default search engine instead. but
 several years ago, as i remember, firefox tried to add ".com" to such
 addresses. whether there are dns "search lists" any how used, i think
 probably not, because also people can easily change their dns servers, but
 they can be used in some company buildings or countries, and also special
 addons for browsers may be used to fix that.
