Since host names are not case sensitive, why not use UNIX:0 when referring
to a host on your network called `unix' (not a real wonderfull name, in
my opinion).  Alternatively, you could use `unix.my.domain:0' in the
domainified syntax.

All this should work without changing a line of code.  Don't make the existing
interface work differently for no good reason.
