 * Ouch!  This is also duplication of information.  If you are interested in
 * all domains under a given top-level country domain registered in the RIPE
 * database, you can perform this search by transferring the RIPE database and
 * doing "agrep" on it, no?  Or, if people insist that this information should
 * be contained in a single object in the RIPE database, the list of
 * subdomains of a domain could be automatically generated by the RIPE
 * database software (more work for the database software hackers, I know...)

For top-level domain administrators it is not much work is it ? With all
other administrativia it should be easy to update the top-level domain as
well as the domain itself. I assume that a top-level domain administrator is
the person that should send in domain entries for a top-level. Since he has
to keep all objects himself, it cannot be very difficult to make a little tool
to automatically generate the top-level domain. If you want us to make the
tool, I'd be happy to ;-)

I kind of like it to do the thing below, and not having to "agrep" through
the complete database.
