Initial Comment:
Hi,

I didn't see anyone with this problem so I thought I'd
post it here. I have 1.3.1 of the plugins and noticed
if I host hostnames to check that they are alive, some
fail.

What I've noticed is that the failing ones have valid
characters but it's the way they are checked that's
causing them to fail.. here is an example of a failing
hostname.

3ftp.3com.com

this hostname fails the ping with "Invalid host
name/address: 3ftp.3com.com".

I noticed with a little testing it's the domain
containing the 3 in 3com that's causing it...

I can't figure out the source well enough to patch it
so hope you guys can figure it out.. thanks.
