These hostnames are just invalid.

I recognize that fact. This, however, does not change the fact that
someone outside of my control wishes for me to deal with these invalid
URLs. And, currently, I can't do this on anthing but a windows

Surely I should be able to co-erce linux into using these URLs (which
do actually resolve with host)?

Resolve with host, use the IP addresses?
