Note: hostname vs. domain name isn't the problem here; the problem is dig is trying to interpret them as internationalized domain names and the IDN conversion threw an error on "-.house.gov". (I guess hyphens are a particular problem since libidn2 has a specific error code for that - IDN2_HYPHEN_STARTEND. I don't recall all the IDN syntax rules offhand.) I wonder aloud if dig's default behavior should be to try IDN and silently fall back to conventional output formatting if it fails. I imagine there are situations where you'd want the rules strictly enforced, but I'm not sure if there was a good reason to do that by default. -- Evan Hunt -- [email protected] Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
