IDN support would be really nice to have. Unfortunately, not even Ubuntu
16.04 has it yet:
Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus):
nornetpp@experiment:~$ host bjørvika.uio.nornet

** server can't find bj\195\184rvika.uio.nornet: NXDOMAIN
nornetpp@experiment:~$ ping bjørvika.uio.nornet

nornetpp@experiment:~$ ping6 bjørvika.uio.nornet

On the other hand, Fedora Core 23 has is enabled by default. So, it
should not be too difficult to support it in Ubuntu as well.
Fedora Core 23:
[root@queenstown ~]# host bjørvika.uio.nornet

Title:
no IDN in nslookup and host
Status in bind9 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in bind9 package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: bind9
Neither nslookup or host supports IDN. If you try , for example, to
get the IP for "registrera-domän.se" it fails every time. As the use
of IDN is increasing I think it would be a good thing if these tools
supported this.
