Picky, picky picky :)

I don't think the \> is GNU. It works with vi and grep under Solaris
and they are AT&T derived rather than GNU.

Given that the files are DNS, the .org should be followed by a dot to
indicate the end of the TLD or separate the .org from the TLD, try
this

    :g/\.org\./.com./g
