Ironically, domain support is now the best it's ever been in FTN software.

5D software could do it, but in practice, there was very little 5D capable
software back in the 90s.  Binkleyterm was one that supported domains, but none
of the rest of the software (RA, Fmail, Fastecho, etc) supported 5D addressing.
 So in practice, multiple nets in the same zone weren't possible.  Today, I
suspect it could be done.
