if the list of domains are not in a field but in a lookup table, how does that change the query?

for example:
i have a list of domain in a lookup table
and i have a list of domain in a field

and i want to check if the list of domains in the field are in the lookup table

In that case...

... | rename domain as domainFromIndex 
| inputlookup lookupName domain as domain OUTPUTNEW domainFromLookup
| eval match=if(domainFromIndex=domainFromLookup,1,0)
| where match=1
