Comment:
Same goes for IPv6 and domain names which are semantically valid but don't
exist (eg http://www.bababababababababa.com/) -- the validator is ment to
perform a quick and basic validation, nothing bulletproof. If you it to be
exact you should write your own validator which actually checks if the
host is alive etc…
