[dns-operations] fun for the holidaze

[Randy Bush]

my friend, phil, is not on this list but has a cute test zone at which
you may want to throw queries from various resolvers.  and he sez

> % host foo.bar.test.globnix.net
> foo.bar.test.globnix.net has address 192.0.2.3
> % host 'foo\.bar.test.globnix.net'
> foo\.bar.test.globnix.net has address 192.0.2.4
> % host 'shoot-self-in-foot\..test.globnix.net'
> shoot-self-in-foot\..test.globnix.net has address 192.0.2.6
> % host 'Philip Pennock woz ere.test.globnix.net'
> Philip\032Pennock\032woz\032ere.test.globnix.net has address 192.0.2.5
