I think you have missed something. BIND does allow domain names with underscores in them. In fact SRV records use underscores so that names with those _service._proto labels can't be confused with hostnames. BIND9 has a check-names hook to ignore, warn and fail RRs that should comply with hostname syntax but don't. It's been there for years. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
