Labels must end and begin only with a letter or digit. RFC 1035 says: The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less. > I believe this bug is caused by the dash character in the domain > name, but I don't have any further knowledge of Linux's resolv > system.
