You might want to apologize to them.Underscores are legitimate in DNS record owner names, despite the disagreement of their use in hostnames.
Underscores are used in _acme-challenge.<domain name>, TLSA records _25._tcp._smtp.<domain name>, and DMARC _dmarc.<domain name> to name a few legitimate uses. (from a quick `fgrep dig $HISTFILE | fgrep _`)
Remember, DNS is (a lot more) than /just/ hostnames. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
