Server receives request for google.com

Server receives request for google.com

I was looking through my site's error logs and noticed an unusual
occurrence. I found exceptions where the requested URL was
http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN. My routing engine tried to route it to
/intl/zh-CN, which failed with a 404, since for my site it is an invalid
path. My question is.. how did I even get a request where the requested
domain is Google? I would think that any request with Google's domain
would get resolved to their IP by DNS, not my site's. It's happened three
times in the past few days, all from different IP addresses and I've been
unable to find anything by searching. Any insight would be appreciated.
