Some time ago, I asked Compression of domain names on StackOverflow. I had been wondering whether it wouldn't be more suited to CSTheory, but now understand that it does not.
Is it more suited to CS than SO?

Yes, sure, questions on designing algorithms are on-topic here.
Feel free to flag your question on SO to have it migrated here. We would remove the paragraph about existing tools, and your question is a very general one about a very specific problem so you're likely to get bibliographic references for related problems rather than a complete solution, but the question would be basically ok if it was posted here.
