Just stick to using names that have nothing in common with each other, 
so that label compression is not possible. For your (in)convenience 
there are plenty of TLDs from which to choose.

Seriously, how valid can it be to test anything in DNS with 
label-compression disabled? Label compression is pervasive in day-to-day 
DNS. It would be like trying to do automotive crash-testing with 
vehicles that include no glass, rubber or plastic in their construction. 
Sure you could test like that, but would the results have any value?
