Surely I should be able to co-erce linux into using these URLs (which

You are right, sure you could "co-erce" GNU/Linux to use it, ... you
have all sources available, so shoot:

- bind
- mozilla
- glibc

When you finish "co-ercing" those get back here, I give you more so you
can use http://*g'o`'o**!*#le.c0m !

These hostnames are just invalid.
From RFC 1912 - Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors :

DNS domain names consist of "labels" separated by single dots. The
DNS is very liberal in its rules for the allowable characters in a
domain name. However, if a domain name is used to name a host, it
should follow rules restricting host names. Further if a name is
used for mail, it must follow the naming rules for names in mail
addresses.

Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII
letters, digits, and the `-' character. Labels may not be all
numbers, but may have a leading digit (e.g., 3com.com). Labels must
end and begin only with a letter or digit.
