not really, the behaviour in question is in they system libraries,
which think it's an IP address (single numeric, number.number and
octal are all valid but uncommon representations of IP addresses).
$ gethostip localhost
localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1 7F000001
$ gethostip 330
330 0.0.1.74 0000014A
$ telnet 330
Trying 0.0.1.74...
telnet: connect to address 0.0.1.74: Invalid argument
You can work around it with an entry in ~/.ssh/config:
Host 300
Hostname 330.blah.domain.com

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
