I have not tested with Japanese or English version of MS IE 6.0. I have only Korean MS IE 6.0 (version 6.0.2600.00), and find it does not try dns lookup for "<ML>.com" and "<ML>.<ML>.com" and just sends them into auto.search.msn.com. ( I had a debugging session with my name servers ). the auto.search.msn.com/realnames receives those search queries and converts them into ACE ones and answers with redirection requests for http://bq--???.mltbd.com. For other TLDs like "<ML>.cc", the search engine responds with "not found" error pages.
