    Encode a domain which is presente into a line into `idna`. This way we

    ----------
    line : str

    Returns
    -------
    line : str

    - This function encode only the domain to `idna` format because in

        `b'\xc9\xa2oogle.com'.decode('idna')`.
    - About the splitting:
        We split because we only want to encode the domain and not the full
        line, which may cause some issues. Keep in mind that we split, but we
        still concatenate once we encoded the domain.

        - The following split the prefix `0.0.0.0` or `127.0.0.1` of a line.
        - The following also split the trailing comment of a given line.
