Well, THINK about how an arbitrary domain must resolve:
x.y.z.foo.bar.com
Do you know who serves that domain? No, so you ask the top level servers,
which back down the chain (.com - well, they probably know that outright,
bar.com, then go ask the servers listed for bar.com about the inner
stuff).
Why not just use ".home", which isn't a top level domain. That's the
root cause of your trouble you know - the .com top level is run from the
outside, and you're not playing their game - you're not registered. of
course it won't work.
Either register the domain or use a nonexistent top level domain like .home.
