In this case it's the underscore which is making it unhappy. They're illegal acording to the RFC but have been in use anyway. I'd change all underscores to dashes, which are legal. A pain, but even if your own DNS can be configured to allow underscores, there's not telling what other people's DNS or clients will do with them.
