You should pose your problem more precisely. E.g., maybe you would prefer to 
find the DC values for all entries of objectclass domain?

Relying on the DN to be composed of the value you want is not necessarily the 
best LDAP practice.

Why don't you search your base DN with a filter of (objectclass=domain) and 
request the DC attribute. It will accomplish the same thing, but in a much 
more robust way.
