[users@httpd] International chars in domain names + Virtualhosts
Hello
I have an apache 2.2 server running on debian with nearly 100
virtualhosts working without problems. But, I need to host a new name
which contains an Spanish char (ñ). I have created a virtualhost like
the rest, but when I try to browse the site y get the fallback
virtualhost, not the new one. If I change the ServerName in that
virtualhost to a "standard" one, it works fine.
Has anybody encountered a problem like this one? I know this kind of
domains do work on other sites (e.g. www.mañana.es) so I would like to
know how to set up such domains myself.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

While domain names technically have no restrictions on the characters
they use and can include non-ASCII characters, the same is not true for
host names.
Host names are the names most people see and use for things like e-mail
and web browsing. Host names are restricted to a small subset of the
ASCII character set known as LDH, the Letters A–Z in upper and lower
case, Digits 0–9, Hyphen, and the dot to separate LDH-labels; see RFC
3696 section 2 for details.

I have naver tried it myself, but I think you need to use the following
kind of configuration :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xn--faltenbgeleisen-berlin-ylc.de
where the above funny way of writing the domain name corresponds to the
"PUNYCODE" encoding of the DNS name.
(Which in this case would be "faltenbügeleisen-berlin.de")
I found the above searching Google for "apache +punycode".
I have not really browsed very deep in the answers.
I think you should also check if the browser which you (or your clients)
are using supports this PUNYCODE properly. I have seen hints for
instance that IE6 natively does not.

Thanks very much André, this is just what I was looking for. I am afraid
it was the first time I read about punycode.

By the way, the punycode version of your sample domain below is
www.xn--maana-pta.es
I also found this interesting link via Google :
