What are the valid characters and rules for creating acceptable domain names
in .COM, .ORG, .NET? Do the valid names strictly follow the current RFC's
or are they more flexible?
My understanding is:
1. Must be two or more characters in length (although I know there are
single character domain names in existance).
2. First and last character must be alphanumeric.
3. Intervening characters may include alphanumerics and hyphens ("-").
What's the current limit to the length of a domain name, or _is_ there one?
I realize there are limits within some software, such as browsers and
various DNS servers.
Thanks,
Jim
