Turn it upside down, maybe?

"Although the top level domains must be the same, the subdomains can differ."

Now I am missing the context, so my revision might twist the meaning, but perhaps the following changes might help:

"Although the top level domains must be identical to each other, the subdomains can differ."

"The top level domains must be identical [to whatever?], but the subdomains can differ."

Ack; looking for a single word to mean âas long asâ or âso long asâ, but not if, which to me results in the wrong emphasis (reversal of dependent/dependency) in the following sentence:

âThe subdomains can be different as long as the top level domains are the same.â
