There will be some more "problems" with IDN domains I think. To ping such a 
domain you have to convert the domain with the idn tool.
A ping from a shell would looke like this:
ping `idn <IDN Domain>`

So the problem is not just in this fix, maybe there work to be done on some 
other functions too to support IDN Domains in nagios.

A short test with check_ping showed me, that there is no support for IDN 
Domains too.

So I would like to open a feature request for supporting IDN Domains.

Greetings,
 Christian
