Just FYI, Restrictions on hostname character sets seem obsoleted by this: >From RFC2181, Section 11 [...] any binary string whatever can be used as the label of any resource record. Similarly, any binary string can serve as the value of any record that includes a domain name as some or all of its value (SOA, NS, MX, PTR, CNAME, and any others that may be added). Implementations of the DNS protocols must not place any restrictions on the labels that can be used. In particular, DNS servers must not refuse to serve a zone because it contains labels that might not be acceptable to some DNS client programs. [...] Regards, Andi -- "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from?"
