That's easy: any string comparison will tell you that
customercare.bigbank.com != customer-care.bigbank.com.  So, assuming no
treewalking assumption in my reputation system, they'd each have
entirely separate reputations.

But reputation is never based solely on one tiny bit of information --
I'd also check to see if the domain exists.  If it doesn't, that would
very likely result in rejection before even getting to any reputation
algorithm.
