First, let me repeat my opinion: there is no way to make a sure
determination of the *administrative* zone cuts in the DNS
tree. Browser authors should admit it and fix the cookie mechanism
instead of trying to figure out the administrative borders.

No, some domains do not use DNS delegation and are still
separated. Counter-examples:

* carthage.tn, benali.tn and pasteur.tn all have the same SOA but are
clearly different (the ".tn" TLD does not do delegations).

* ".tel" intended to have a flat zone for the entire TLD (this seems
to have been dropped for non-technical reasons).

* yaouankizbreizh.free.fr, pokerslam.free.fr and abarbot.free.fr have
different SOA and are different domains, managed by different persons,
all customers of the ISP Free.
