Meh. Strike the IDN stuff. I wrongly assumed that because the host was
in a .nl cctld that some funky punycode conversion was going on.

It's actually a wildcard CNAME record being returned. This is apparent
if you use something like the following:

$ host ++##-noorah%hi-mom.hyves.nl
++##-noorah%hi-mom.hyves.nl is an alias for hyves.nl.
hyves.nl has address 213.193.242.126
++##-noorah%hi-mom.hyves.nl is an alias for hyves.nl.
++##-noorah%hi-mom.hyves.nl is an alias for hyves.nl.
hyves.nl mail is handled by 100 mail.startpda.net.

Still not sure why either generic or Ubuntu Firefox doesn't like the url
though.
