Philip,

Is there some special handling of underscore elsewhere? The reason I
ask is I remember in the dim and distant past we needed to front end the
DNS handling functions with code to deal with underscores because some
particularly broken resolver implementations died horribly when passed
an underscore and querying a name server which rejected them.
