  Nope.  On my development server, I set up a virtual domain for
"boston.groomlake.area51" (which is *not* a valid Top Level Domain) and then
did the following (lines marked with a "*" is where I typed):

        [spc]marvin:~>telnet 66.252.226.51 80
        Trying 66.252.226.51...
        Connected to linus.area51.conman.org.
        Escape character is '^]'.
