Are there plans for Bind to enforce hostname compliance according to
RFC's or is this going to be left up to each DNS operator?
It's present in BIND 9.3 and later. All characters except a-z, A-Z,
0-9, and "-" itself are forbidden to appear in the labels of any
domain name that is to be treated as a hostname. That is, any name
that has an A or AAAA record, or that appears in the RData of an NS,
MX, or SRV record (if I'm not mistaken).
This can be disabled with:
options {
check-names master warn; # or fail
};
or:
zone "some.name" {
check-names warn; # or fail
};
