I believe they used to be legal but now you should use a '-' dash. It should
be somewhere on the BIND site about the change over, it happened from BIND4
to BIND8 I think.

Subject: Legal Characters in DNS


Is an underscore ' _ ' a legal character in a DNS name?  Is there an
document that someone can point me to with a definitive answer as to which
characters are legal and not?

Thanks,

Christian
