Not really,

To be more specific, names that are in DNS are host names.  Why would 
you be looking for a domain ( it should not respond ) when it is a host 
you want to connect to.

This is what DNS was designed for, looking up a host from a "name". So 
you don't need to remember the IP for that host.  Without DNS you would 
need to keep all the hosts you want/like to connect to in your 
/etc/hosts file and that would be gruesome.

As I said before blame the web folks for messing this up as in web 
domain is not equal to tcp/ip domain.
