Realm Names

Realm names can be any ASCII string. Usually it is the same as your DNS domain name, in uppercase. This helps differentiate problems with SEAM from problems with the DNS namespace, while using a name that is familiar. If you do not use DNS or choose to use a different string, then you can use any string, although using realm names that follow the standard internet naming structure is wise.
