    $ ping "mr-chips-.deviantart.com"
    ping: cannot resolve mr-chips-.deviantart.com: Unknown server error

    $ ping "etc-etc-etc.deviantart.com"
    PING etc-etc-etc.deviantart.com (69.28.181.43): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 69.28.181.43: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=108.127 ms

    At first it may seem logical to point the blame to the server, after
    noting "Unknown server error," however, I am perfectly able to connect
    to this address on a Windows machine. The problem is reproducible
    with any address which has a "-" before a "."

    I am not sure where the problem lies, it is obviously not just within
    'ping,' as I first noticed this problem within firefox/mozilla.
