So far so good.

That is also correct.  Sometimes.

That seems like a funny thing to say, when/since it just got resolved.
Interesting to note that it is trying to resolve the IP with the
#obfuscation in place.

Here is some more funniness:

Feed SC the naked url with and without the #obfuscation:

There are several possible reasons for this: <blah blah>


The business about the variable DNS from 222.187.122.174 to
221.11.133.63 isn't exactly SC fault, however.  But I'm not exactly sure
whether the parser is trying to get a DNS on the url with or without the
# obfuscation.  It isn't clear from the verbose.

Here's a different iteration of SC trying to get a notify address with
the obfuscated url.  This time it resolves to the 222 instead of the
221, but there are no addresses.
