Seriously?  Respecting the defined Internet standard is a feature request?

Host names are case-insensitive.  See RFC952 which defined the host
name specification all the way back in 1985.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc952  MythTV interpreting "HTPC" and
"htpc" as different is wrong.

Whatever.  I fixed the issue on my machine.
