[Bug 175316] Re: no IDN in nslookup and host

[Jonathan Stewart]

Hi,

IDN is not optional on the internet today.

The IANA is publishing several IDN top level domains:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db

As it currently stands, I am having a difficult time using Ubuntu as a
professional internet operator at an ISP, because my only choice is
hacks like this:

reaper at silverstar:~$ dig ns $(idn2 한국)

On CentOS 6.5, the query is simple:
jgs at whmdev:~$ dig ns 한국

The man page of dig has the same message for at least 2 years, staing
it's a compile time option.  Please compile it into the next version of
this package.

Is there any reason not to build dig with IDN support?
