So the rule clearly isn't being enforced very well. :) Actually, to be lawyerly about it, while RFC952 says you can't have a single-character name, it also defines names as including periods to delimit domain-name components. So, "m.google.com." is really a 13-character name, with a single-character component at the beginning, not a single-character name. -- Evan Hunt -- [email protected] Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
