what's a valid domain name?

Actually a . is not part of a host name. It separates all the parts of FQDN. If you put one in a host name you have an undelegated subdomain as I stated before. -Ben Croswell On Oct 31, 2011 6:59 AM, Kristen Eisenberg kristen.eisenb...@yahoo.com wrote: Ben Croswell writes: In that case technically you are creating undelegated subdomains for each router.

The dot is a delimiter and can't be part of a hostname. I was thinking you are wrong. Period is somewhat permitted in a hostname. People are using hostname to mean different things. If hostname is interpreted to mean the string that one device uses to represent another so that the two of them can communicate, then obviously whether dots are permitted in hostnames, will depend wholly on what mechanism translates the string into a network address: if the mechanism is DNS, or an /etc/hosts file, then dots are permitted in the string; in the case of other name-resolution mechanisms (e.g. NetBIOS name resolution?), dots may or may not be supported. If, on the other hand, hostname is interpreted to mean everything preceding the first dot in the standard representation of the network entity, then by definition such a hostname will not, and cannot contain a dot. - Kevin ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
