    Well, depends on how strictly DNS your talking. It's
    *very* much possible to use 8bit characters like ö
    and such in "DNS" - cf. IDN, eg. http://blö.de/. You're
    right in so far, as that "blö.de" is in some DNS
    implentations not stored in the the server - rather,
    the ACE encoded form of xn--bl-gka.de might be stored.
    But that's highly implementation dependent.
