I just wanted to +1 the advice that Markus and Daniel are providing. It really
does sound like the protocol is the exact same between all these different
networks, which indicates that you are dealing with one DID Method, not
hundreds of them.

I'll also note that if you were to start attempting to register tens to
hundreds of DID Methods that we would most likely change the registration
rules for the registry so that such unsustainable use of the registry would
come to an end.

Unless you can show us how these "zones" differ in significant ways from a
protocol perspective, you are almost certainly talking about a single DID
Method (that is capable of addressing multiple networks running the same
protocol).
