Hi Andy,

I simplified things a bit so we don't rely on DNS at all for the majority of cases (anything that looks like a FQDN) but still handles the case reported by @simonmichal.

The problem with using the trick of appending a `.` is that it still relies on DNS - hence exposing the security issue we were trying to avoid in the first place.

With this, I believe things are secure by default except in detectable backward compatibility scenarios.

Brian
