I don't need to. You should understand that we are talking of "identity" here and not of some DNS resolution/searching rule. FQDN in this context means "unique hostname identifying a machine". Just read RFC 2821 by it's *meaning*. It doesn't ask for a well defined string of some technically clearly forced format which doesn't bear any meaning, it asks for *identity*. > In both, there is no "fqdn >= N dots". I suggest you try getting the meaning of those definitions. A definition is not the sum of its words. Just because you can put "whatever." in a resource record and it won't expand when resolving that doesn't mean it's an FQDN. Full stop. I won't say anything more about FQDNs.
