RFC1123 expanded RFC952 to permit hostnames to begin with a numeric digit, but 
it seems that not all Solaris components accepted this, at least until 
recently. See bug 6442422, for example.

Can anyone tell me if there was a specific Solaris version in which RFC1123 
name compatibility was formally added, or has it just crept in over time with 
bugfixes when problems occurred? 

I ask because of a situation where it didn't work, and I'm trying to narrow 
down our options.
