You can do what you suggest. When you register a domain name (xyz.org), you just tell the InterNic (or whomever) the primary and secondary name servers (provided by your ISP, usually) for names in that domain. The name servers answer the specific host address for each such host (you have to tell your ISP what those addresses are).
Individual names (myhost.xyz.org, herhost.xyz.org) may be in entirely different subnets. (A subnet is not a domain, and a domain is not a subnet.)
