I don't think they've every been allowed. Why would you need to do this, instead of just using another level of subdomain? To get a literal period into a label, you need to escape it, e.g. foo\.bar.company.com instead of foo.bar.company.com. The latter is allowed, always has been, and is quite common. -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
