Try visiting http://framework.zend.com./ Works fine for me.
A dot at the end is not invalid (for hostnames) because it indicates the
explicit end of the domain name.
If no dot is available at the end and the given host cannot be found by your
dns server you (/your client) can use search domains
I forgot to update this discussion. This is a bug that was introduced on recent
versions. Dots at the end are not valid as per RFC-2822.
I have reported and it was fixed yesterday ( very fast solution :) ):
