The annoying thing is you can add a server via domain name in favourites,
but it saves it as an IP :/
On a related note, if I were to go into the console and try to connect to my
server at 127001.org:27015, I would get an error. games.127001.org:27015
(same IP) works, however. I suspect whatever is parsing the hostname thinks
it's an IP because it starts with a number.
I suspect that issue is due to confusion from the following from the rfc for
domain names:-
"The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must
start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior
characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some
restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less."
