He *can't* register "peter.netvigator.com" -- only 2nd level domains can 
be registered and "peter" is at level 3.  But he *can* get mail there easily.  

If he wants mail going to <anything-else>.netvigator.com whoever is DNS for 
netvigator.com needs to add an A record pointing to that host.  MX record(s) 
would be a good idea as well.
