If the object is of a structural object class other than domain
(or oc derived from domain) then you cannot add domain.  An entry
can have one and only one structure.  That is, an entry cannot
be both an 'organizationalUnit' and a 'domain.' 

If you want to use DC naming with structural object classes which
do not allow dc naming attribute type, you should mix in the
auxiliary object class dcObject.
