I noticed that the patent was first filed in November 1999. During July 1999, I came across a company called Internode (http://www.internode.on.net) that was selling subdomains for the on.net domain. I remember Peter Gabriel was using realworld.on.net for one his websites. I've no idea how much earlier these guys had been doing this for.
