RE: DNS NAMES

[micael]

That only cuts to the chase you are thinking of George. It is correct and neat and all that, but does not respond to what the question really must be. At least I would be amazed if the writer actually is asking about or worried about this. It would be nice to know what the person is trying to achieve, then we can give them an answer related to that. The chase depends upon what the hunter wants, not what we want. Nice to see this list though. ///8-)

Let me really cut right down to the chase here:

Valid characters in a domain name are:

a-z
0-9 (digits)
- (Hyphen)
. (Period)

Look at the RFC, and read the BNF definition for an identifier.

But don't be misled.  Noel is giving you direct answer to the way you put
the question, and I suspect, as others before me have, that you don't mean
the question the way you are expressing it.  You would be better served
saying why you want to do this, because you are really going to a lot of
this and that over something that seems to be really unimportant.  What you
want to do probably can be done, if you state what the real objective
is.  Of course, making "whatever" into a DNS name is not your goal, we can
surmise.
