BIND does case-insensitive lookups on domain names. That's the way the file system called DNS works. The problem is that some addresses, local things that might be found in /etc/hosts, are case sensitive when they point to Linux boxes. Safari should just pass what it gets to the domain name servers or nslookup. It should not make unwarranted assumptions while trying to be helpful.
