Hmm, good suggestion, that I'd not considered, Thanks.  It does appear to
clear that up (down to two lookups from three: an AAAA and an A).  It doesn't
always appear to work though:

http://bar.baz.domain.com./index.html

This doesn't appear to universally work, but I'm not sure whether that's a bug
with the affected web servers or not.
