I would strongly advise against creating REALM matching existing host names.
That's a lot of confusion for domain operators.
In my case, I choose

netbios name = dc1
realm = ADS.EXAMPLE.COM
domain = EXAMPLE

Do note capitalization. It is important in certain places. I.e. in Kerberos
configuration.

Also Rowland's advice have some merit. Not a lot, but you should really
consider, if you DO want your domain records to be accessible publicly.
