Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) was conceived to allow client-side use of language-specific characters in domain names without requiring any existing infrastructure (DNS servers, mall servers, etc., including associated protocols) to change. Accordingly, the corresponding original [RFC 3490](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3490) clearly states that IDNA is employed at application level, not on the server side. Hence, DNS servers never see any IDN domain name, which means DNS records do not store IDN domain names at all, only their [Punycode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode) representations. +### While loading data from the long-term database you encountered an error + +If requesting a lot of data from the long-term database you get this error + +```code +An unknown error occurred while loading the data. +Check the server's log files (/var/log/lighttpd/error.log when you're using the default Pi-hole web server) for details.
