Sitch accept the "oe" Symbol. What is with the American DNS Servers? I think many of the US DNS couldn't handle ä, ö ü and "oe"?
To put umlouds in the DNS-Servers, you don't need any changes at the DNS protocoll or the servers itself. Everything is handled in the application like the browser.
See [1] as an example.

You will notice that a modern Mozilla / Firefox / Opera converts the entered umloud automatically to the "punycode". You will also notice that IE is not able to handle this URL.
I don't understand Switch, why the still try to earn money with such a useless thing...
