I just tested this, as it has always worked for me in the past.  Doing a
"dig" for the A record of icann.org gave me 176.9.131.126 (i had spelled it
ivann.org, but put it in the browser bar any way and got a website in
german!

http://176.9.131.126/de/

so in practice it works for me using Chrome.

just sayin',
