omitting the _. I just can't recall them now.
There are valid reasons for allowing it. Somebody[tm] (I'll leave it up
to you to guess who) thought it was a good idea to use _ in DNS names
used for automatic detection of web proxies and domain controllers, IIRC.
BIND allows it in SRV records but not in A records.
