Well, someone will have to own them.  But having your owned domain name 
point to someone else's owned domain, might not be either able to be 
done or not quite legal.  I know that if I create a domain with my 
registration service, they will not let me point it to any domain that 
is not my own.  [Or not make it easy for someone to do it, since I did 
not see how on their site].

Does TDF own a dedicated IP address and DNS server reference IP address 
that belongs to them alone?  If so, maybe it could happen with your 
description.
