Yes; per RFC 2181, 255 octets is the limit for an FQDN.  However, RFC 3261 uses 
hostname instead of an FQDN.  Is there an RFC which directly or indirectly 
limits the size of hostname?  For instance, I'm not sure if a .invalid hostname 
is restricted to being 255 octets.

host             =  hostname / IPv4address / IPv6reference
hostname         =  *( domainlabel "." ) toplabel [ "." ]
domainlabel      =  alphanum
                    / alphanum *( alphanum / "-" ) alphanum
toplabel         =  ALPHA / ALPHA *( alphanum / "-" ) alphanum
