According to this:

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/ds_admin.htm#20696

and actual experience, it is the local global_name that controls the dblink's domain. This is strange as usually dblink links to another domain. But that's how it works. But you can name your dblink anyway you want as long as it has a domain name. The problem in my case is my destination DB has no domain name and I can't make my dblink name without a domain name.
