 >> Description:
 > You've probably heard about the site deviantart.com. This site has a user account with "zi-" name and complete address is http://zi-.deviantart.com . When I try resolves this address using nslookup (dig or host) is not a problem but when trying to open this address from any browser or execute the command ping for this host, I get the error "ping: cannot resolve zi-.deviantart.com: Unknown server error"
 > 
 > Nevertheless, if the address register in the /etc/hosts "199.15.160.42 zi-.deviantart.com" problem is solved.
 > 
 > I think that the system does not properly handle dns names with a minus in front of the dot, since if the minus is between letters is not a problem.
 > 
 > p.s. The problem was not detected in OS windows >_<
 >> How-To-Repeat:
 > make "ping zi-.deviantart.com" and get the error message
 >> Fix:
 > Is't very good idea but as temporally solution write string in the /etc/hosts file for each problematic address :(
 > 
 
 # host -v zi-.deviantart.com
 host: convert UTF-8 textname to IDN encoding: prohibited character found
