there is simply no need for UTF8 in servrnames the nslookup you see is only a user-view there are only ASCII chars in dns and http-config without any special char and that is why IDN exists ServerAlias xn--wrmlach-n2a.at www.xn--wrmlach-n2a.at you will find no other expression than "xn--wrmlach-n2a.at" for "würmlach.at" in dns, httpd and other services while nslookup and any browser are happy with the special chars
