Precisely as i have said it would happen:

I removed the domain form CloudFlare and your domains visting my website 
appearing as usual.

Its only when i cloudflare it and the UnicodeError happens.

But why?!?! I see no reason as to why when my domain becomes Cloudflared 
the gethostbyaddr() fails.

What kind of weird strings does it return back?
