good address will not resolve in freebsd (_ in host names)

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
