Uhm, quick but:

Apparently some browsers (OK, one, and we all know which one) embraces & 
extends the DNS in such a way that this provides the fall-back behaviour 
you seem to expect.  But this is not standard and it won't fly with most 
software.  I checked.

It doesn't in Firefox/IceCat.  Even if it does in current Chrom{e,ium}, 
it might just be an unreliable side-effect.

Kind regards,

T G-R
