That seems pretty unlikely (as it would break every email mentioning a
virtual hosted website), and the URL you link to says nothing of
the sort (it says "Don't use dotted-quads in URLs unless you want to
look like Atriks, doofus.").
Do you have some data suggesting that this is actually happening?
Cheers,
