Your test is not doing what you think it's doing. If you want to
search for "adsl", then you should search for "adsl". Your test looks
for:
1. An "a".
2. Optional, some character.
3. A "d".
4. Optional, some character.
5. An "s".
6. Optional, some character.
7. Zero or more "l" characters.
So in the domain "hinterlands", there is not an /ads/, but there is
/a.ds/ that matches.
If this was what you intended, I cannot grasp what the use is looking
for a_char_d_char_s in a hostname. Can you elucidate?
