On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, David Brett blurted out:
DB>Does anybody know of a way to allow DNS names with "_" in them?
No. The composition of a legal hostname is given in RFC1123, a
*mandatory* RFC. It's this RFC that says hostnames cannot contain
underscores. Likewise, names used for mail domains have to comply with
RFC822 syntax, another mandatory RFC. Note that none of this has
anything to do with the DNS which has no character limits that I am
aware of.
DB>I have a number of servers with an underscore in them. It is
DB>going to take a lot of work to make the change by a large number
DB>people.
Sorry. You did it wrong. Fix it. There's nothing else for it.
