OK, it turns out that it doesn't matter what I put as the host.  This
doesn't return an error:

                boost::asio::io_service io_service;
                
                // Get a list of endpoints corresponding to the server name.
                tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
                tcp::resolver::query query("ksjfkdsjkfjds.com", "http");
                tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
                tcp::resolver::iterator end;
                
                // Try each endpoint until we successfully establish a connection.
                tcp::socket socket(io_service);
                boost::system::error_code error = boost::asio::error::host_not_found;
                while (error && endpoint_iterator != end)
                {
                        socket.close();
                        socket.connect(*endpoint_iterator++, error);
                }

What gives?
