interesting... I can access the site on Firefox 2.x in OpenSuSE 10.2 but I get other codes back:

martin@styx:~> host www.ñandú.cl
Host www.\195\177and\195\186.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

martin@styx:~> echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

...is UTF-8 buggy? :o)

It seems the codes depend on the lang setting. I also get the same as you with en_US.UTF-8.

Anyway, as for your question... I don't thing host or ping or dig are buggy; they just don't know how to handle these international characters, I guess...

But somehow it does know? I mean, it tries to translate to escapes. I think it should work, anyhow.

Now, if somebody can try in opensuse 10.3...
