You're still running snv_111, right? It'd be interesting to know if the
newest-available snv_134 (which is 23 builds or 46 *weeks* newer) does a
better job with this.
But, yeah, it's hard to please everyone. One of the issues that I know
about in this area is that ISPs are well-known for giving out horrible
automatically-generated host names that nobody in his right mind will
want ("h00345c8e700015" is the sort of thing commonly seen), so at least
defaulting to ignoring that mess is a Good Thing for most people.
I realize things are different on the SWAN, though. (Or is that now the
OWAN? ;-})
