What is the common practice in connecting to Internet when a
commercial organization has geographically-dispersed research sites?
Does each research site connect independently to its closest
consortium (NYSERnet, NEARnet, etc)?  Is there a domain-name problem?
Can each of the company's research sites share the parent company's
domain-name, even if widely separated, as westcoast.poobarcorp.com,
eastcost.poobarcorp.com, sunbelt.poobarcorp.com...., even if joining
several consortia means that there is no common gateway machine?

Please reply or ask clarifiaction of the question by e-mail. Thanks.
