If you've got a string and are trying to make a Name out of it, it's much
easier to just call dns.name.from_text(). You definitely don't want to call
split(), as that doesn't handle escaping correctly. But it's even easier to
let dnspython call dns.name.from_text() for you -- see below.

If you're trying to make an SOA rdataset it's easier to do something like this:
import dns.rdataset
mname = 'my.domain.net.'
rname = 'hostmaster.my.domain.net.'
soa = dns.rdataset.from_text('IN', 'SOA', 600, '%s %s 100 200 300 400 500' %
(mname, rname))
