If I read the claims correctly, each one of them involves the user specifying not only a domain name, but a list of domains. If the user doesn't specify a list of domains, it's not covered by the patent. IANAL, but it looks to me like any web site that does not ask the user for a list of preferred domains (or maybe countries) is not covered by the patent at all. Looking up the domain name in all TLDs is the loophole.

The way that most registrars do this, though, involves a check-off list of TLDs to search. Even absent that feature, though, if the "submit" button takes the user input and a form set of TLDs, the claims might be interpreted broadly enough to cover that type of situation.
Besides, Verisign may have been smart enough to have filed a continuation application before this one issued, so that they could tweak the claims if need be.
