 Does "apr_sockaddr_info_get" (along with all the functions that take

No, not really.  To do non-ASCII DNS you need to use IDNA to map the
hostnames to valid ASCII strings: there's an excellent implementation 
in
GNU libidn.

Recent versions of glibc support a flag to do this inside getaddrinfo,
so it would be feasible for apr_sockaddr_info_get to grow a flag to do
that internally, but it would be rather Linux-specific for the time
being.
