Netman domains necessarily have to match your DNS domains. And, depending on how you handle administration of your databases and Netman network definitions, you might not want to use domains at all. Ie, if you manage everything from one group, and can insure your database names are unique, it seems simpler to use a single domain called 'world'. Also known as the flat naming model. Either way, in Netmans' listener/addresses/host field, you should be able to type anything, including dashes. We use IP addresses instead of the actual hostname to save a tiny bit of overhead.
