Registrars send orders to the registry, which is one per TLD and maintains the database. In this database, a given domain name has a unique property so the registry will reject any second attempt to register a specific domain name if it exists already in its database. | |

In those setup, a given name may exist separately in each root and hence resolve to things completely different. Of course this creates huge problems of naming and breaks a lot of assumptions. | |
