If you type "foo" into the URL field, current Netscape tries to resolve
foo.my.domain( host name of in my default domain)  first and if it
fails  then tries www.foo.com.
But if an user definable  resource variable, say, "URL_DOMAIN_PATH"
contains a list of domain names to append, it can be generalized.

For example, if URL_DOMAIN_PATH is "org:edu:com:ac.kr",
Mazilla would try to resolve the host name in this order,
foo.org, www.foo.org, foo.edu, www.foo.edu, foo.com, www.foo.com,
www.foo.ac.kr.

This idea is just like PATH environment variable in UNIX shells.
