p Resolv::DNS::Name.create("x.y.z").subdomain_of?(domain) #=> true
p Resolv::DNS::Name.create("y.z").subdomain_of?(domain) #=> false
p Resolv::DNS::Name.create("z").subdomain_of?(domain) #=> false
p Resolv::DNS::Name.create("x.y.z.").subdomain_of?(domain) #=> false
p Resolv::DNS::Name.create("w.z").subdomain_of?(domain) #=> false

 
               # File resolv.rb, line 1193
def subdomain_of?(other)
  raise ArgumentError, "not a domain name: #{other.inspect}" unless Name === other
  return false if @absolute != other.absolute?
  other_len = other.length
  return false if @labels.length <= other_len
  return @labels[-other_len, other_len] == other.to_a
