For an IDN, you have to tell BIND to respond for the PUNYCODE
representation of the domain. For instance, if you register the IDN
"m=FCller.name" (U+006D U+00FC U+006C U+006C U+0065 U+0072, I think), the
domain you are really getting is the PUNYCODE representation of the IDN,
which is "xn--mller-kva.name", and you would have to tell BIND to
respond to that. Other than that, the domain xn--mller-kva.name would be
just like any other domain name, and could be set up as you wish.

(BIND does not currently need to know anything about the IDN itself,
only the PUNYCODE representation. This would presumably have to be
changed in the future if DNS is to support IDNs directly).
