For all intents and purposes, a domain name is not contained within a country. The internet is international, and all DNS servers are designed to relay the correct information globally through a relay of trusted networks.Furthermore, the correct operation of the Internet depends on a domain name having just one DNS file (this file may contain multiple IP addresses and aliases, however). Attempts to subvert the global DNS directory is known as DNS poisoning, and is carefully guarded against by technical measures built into bind and Active Directory. These include trusted security keys and known DNS route maps. In this sense, there is a global consensus towards protecting each domain name's IP addresses and aliases, and the software and protocols of DNS are the technical guardians of a domain name. Please note that while your domain name is protected globally, pockets of the Internet, notably corporate networks, may choose to filter domain names; many do so as a means of reducing the abuse of corpotate networks for non-business purposes.
