Sorry, no patch :o) I believe since DNS standard allows only any one of
the 52 alphabetic characters A through Z in upper case and a through z
in lower case and digits 0 - 9 - IIS shouldn't allow you to enter such a
"wrong" domain name in HostHeaders. Please see
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1034.txt,

page 10 for details.

Yes, the following KB article talks about manually edit metabase file
to enforce IIS using unicode characters in host header. However, this
shouldn't be accepted by Internet DNS.

332052 IIS6: User Interface Does Not Permit Unicode Characters in
Host Header
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=332052

Please let me know if you have any concerns on it.

Thank you very much for your help!
Do you know if the same exists for DNS and ISA server ? Cos it's possible to
add the domain name
like "télévision" but both seems to not handle it successfuly.

Hi Philip,

I haven't heard any info about MS DNS or ISA server support this.
However, you may post a new question to ISA or Windows Networking
newsgroup to confirm it.

If you want to use IDNs (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt), you must
encode host header or ns records with Punycode
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3492.txt).
