To encode utf-8 domains so that they work, use 'IDN'. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name > Is there a way for serving domains with binary labels with PDNS? As far as > I can see, this is legal within the DNS RFCs. Read for example paragraph 3.5 of RFC 1035, which contains: "The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names." Others have interpreted this as not disallowing "high-ascii" in labels, but the author of this nameserver doesn't. Even if we would support arbitrary values, things are unlikely to work as intended. IDN was invented for a reason.
