Quite simply
It's an IP address. Most resolvers will take IPaddrs in regular dotted
form, or in hex or decimal form.
3505021947 is in hex 0xD0EA63FB
Which D0 = 208, EA = 234, 63 = 99, FB = 251.
So... try connecting to http://208.234.99.251
Or even:
% nslookup 208.234.99.251
Name: www.freestation.com
Address: 208.234.99.251
http://www.freestation.com/
People often use the hex or decimal representation to sneak by poorly
written web filters.
